Car is running great, but starting is hit-or-miss. Heading to a local car show on Saturday and I would prefer to NOT be push starting it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Car is a 1974 D-Jet.
- Doesn't matter if it is hot or cold - New starter from FLAPS installed - Seat belt logic under passenger seat bypassed by jumping yellow/yellow-red wires together. - Grounds all clean - New Optima battery - New Battery terminals installed When I jump the terminals on the starter with a screwdriver & the ignition switch on, the starter turns over, but the engine does not...is this normal? It could be my ignition switch, but I want to eliminate everything else first. Where do I go from here? Thanks. |
