Here is a good one for all of you electrical masters. The starter on my car went out when the bendix stayed engaged. SO. I put in the new starter, new battery. This is a 75 1.8 with the 2.0 starter (the one with out the shaft).
New starter installed the car turned over well. Cranked 5 or 6 times while the fuel pump fed the injectors. Immediately turned the key to start the 2nd time and nothing happened. Basically what i have is a car that will start 5% of the time on its own. 95% you just hear the feul pump working. Tested all the wires with a friend who seems to understand more than I do. The yellow wire on the starter shows 12.7 volts when the key is engaged. Under a load it drops to 9.7 volts. Is this enough to close the circuit on the starter? Does the Yellow wire go direct from the key switch to the starter? I thought about replacing the entire harness. We bypassed the ignition and the same results. How is it possible for the car to randomly start perfect, then nothing for the next 20 tries? Has anyone had this experience? I am out of ideas and tests to perform. Or does anyone want to buy a clean 75 Any help will be greatly appreciated Mike 925-705-2030   |
