The big day arrived. Went to the garage to do the final electrical hook up, pull the plugs, and spin my 19 year-old fresh 2.0. Plan was to static check timing, spin the engine and take a compression check, then fire it up and begin the break-in. When I touched the ground cable to the battery terminal the starter spins (does not engage since no power to solenoid). What is wrong? Now that I think about it there is always power in the positive cable to the starter. Why is it powering the starter motor? The engine with starter in place has been sitting since 1984. Ideas please!
