Re: no start at times update
Went to the track Fri. night (drag) to see if my no start is fixed. and the ans is
no. Arrived at track about 10 min before it opened, shut car off and waited.
Track opens and car started right up so far so good, Made it the staging lane
no tbl. Time to suit up and belt in. No start again , but wait i just used my
backup starter switch and fired right up. Made 4 runs that night .033 r/t
7.72 @ 92.3 mph 2nd run start ok .050 r/t 7.70 @ 94,4 mph. 3dr run no start
used my backup switch start ok i pushed the tree and went red .090 r/t
7.75 @ 94.4 mph. Last run no start used backup switch .057 r/t went 7.73
@ 94.2 mph. Went back to the pit and prep car to go home (removed
numbers, removable side bar driver side, air tires and closed the exhaust).
Again no start used back up starter switch fired right up.
Sat opened drivers side hush panel and took the new starter enable relay
out. Took old relay and wired it across the switch ( see FSM 8A pg 30-1
starter and charging system). Also ran a ground wire to the black with yellow trace on the relay mounting. Then i disconnected the wires from the auto
shiftier and connect them together and yes there is a warning label
"warning ! do not start car unless shiftier is in park!.
This morning Sunday i went for my test drive ,drove about 60 miles stopped
and had some coffee. After about 25 min car started right up. Drove back
stopped for gas , car started right up , got back home stopped car. Restart
worked fine, i don't know if the at times trouble is gone but its a good start.
On my last post i said i heard the starter click but start. it should have been
i heard the solenoid click but started did not engage.
Thanks for listening
