today I was trying to crank the 1.8 engine that's in the tailshifter right now... the 1.7 will go into it soon, but I wanted to see if the 1.8 was in good shape and could be sold as a good running engine... instead of a complete core...
fuel pump kicks one when I turn the key on, but the starter did nothing... so I pulled it off and put my spare(also was in question) on... it didn't work either... so I put the one that I know works on from my other engine... still nothing... I took the original starter to Autozone... it only needed 4 volts to turn like a champ... so, now that I wasted all day trying 3 starters and replacing all of the fuses(2-3 were missing) I am back a square 1! how can I check the ignition-switch on the column? what else do I need to check to diagnose the problem? also, is there a reference somewhere that can tell me what size fuses go where, so I can double check this? it's not in the haynes wiring diagrams, where I thought is should be.... thanks! |

Use a screw driver to jump the terminals on the solinoid and see if the starter engages. Make sure it is in nutral!!! If it doesn't engage it could be the battery or ground strap.
