Well that will work then. Give you a chance to clean out the Galley area as well. :mrgreen:

I just pulled mine, mostly to clean the gallery, and I pondered changing it while I had it out. But, it hasn't failed once (yet...knocking on wood!), so I "popped" it back in and bolted it down. Here's to crossed fingers! The one thing I DON"T like about the LT5 is how they "swept everything under the rug" (the plenum) - so to speak. Lotsa stuff under there that needs fixin' from time to time. (I guess that is why I figure on a coolant bypass on the TB; to make that plenum pullin a "snap"!

Well, good luck w/ your starter. Sooner or later we'll all be there w/ ya!

This is just something that I saw in some thread, maybe here or at CF or maybe it's over in our own maintenance section at the mothership....anyway, it has to do with the wiring at the ignition lock. This thread I saw talked about one white(?) wire that is in a bad position and over time it gets abraded causing an intermittant situation. If I remember right you need to pull the ing cylinder out to do the repair on the wire.

I wish I could remember specifically where I saw the thread, sorry I can't.:o
.....netreg site, here, CF and CAC.....I don't travel too far so it had to have been one of those places.

:cheers:

The main L shaped brass contactors inside the starter solonoid were worn bad on mine causing a itermittent no start. They were $7 from a starter shop. Good time to see if anything else in there is worn also incase it is in need of a rebuild.

That's why I was thinking about going to wing nuts for the plenum.:)

So my question is this..

it is most likely heat soak, but replacing the contactors and the plunger will fix the heavy power side.. maybe it is the coil of the solenoid that is bad..

Couldn't we run a Ford remote solenoid? that way the solenoid is away from the heat? or at least not buried
