Battery is fine, but when I try to start it, all I get is a solenoid click. Like maybe it's jammed? Car won't turn over. Push started the car just fine, drove around, parked it and tried to start it, but no dice. Just a click.
This is apparently a Renegage "factory" conversion, done in the mid 90s. What kind of starter is this? Some random dude once told me it is from a Mitsubishi diesel. Correct? Also, it looks like a separate solenoid on it? Is it replaceable? Can I take it off while the starter is on the car? How do I diagnose the problem? The starter itself seemed to be working strong, no problem, before today. (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v520/bak535/Picture247.jpg) |

You don't want to know... really..... Group: Members Posts: 2,515 Joined: 12-September 04 From: Newport Beach, California Member No.: 2,743 |
Hey 914-8.
Your lifters are DEFINETLY anti pump up. Not regular hydro lifters. They are meant to be set at ZERO... I called up a bunch of the bros after that fiasco and they all said the same thing. So now ya know.......... You probably have either Rhodes, Comp cams, or Crane lifters. If you want to know more about these... Go Here!!!! And if ya need to ever change the U Joints... PM me. If I am around... I will respond Cheers, C |
