Not starting>>
 
Figures, fix one thing, another breaks..

Car will not start (push starts in 2nd though) ;)

I was checking my oil issue tonight ( which is mostly fixed) anyway, I shut the car off and started it a couple times, after driving and stopping, I stopped again and then no start. Not Security light on or flashing while key is in start position and I here the relay under dash click. This happened to me last year in June once, on the Saturday of Bloomington Gold. has been working fine since that day until today.. doing the same thing

here is how the starting circuit is set-up:

After the Clutch pedal I changed it and added a relay.. the relay energizes from the clutch pedal to ground, I then have 12v going to that new relay then to the starter solenoid ( did that in Nov of 2007)

last year in June I made a VATS bypass thinking that was it.

Now when I bought the car in July of 2007 the PO had soaked the motor with water and the starter so it would not start. i am still using that starter. I am thinking I should just buy a new starter but wanted to get other opinions.. everything leads me to the starter but I will check voltage on the relay going to the Starter solenoid to be sure there is 12v.. if there is, then I am guessing a starter is in order

there is a rebuilt on eBay for $75 or new from Partsladi for $175.. I am guessing PL is the better deal

Well On my 92 there is a new starter in there. Every once in a while I turn the key and nothing, So what i do is turn the key all the way off and try again cranks right up, only does this when hot..

If your comfortable with Plenium pulls which I think you are Jeff Id suggest the rebuilt

Right.. what were the symptoms? meaning no solenoid click? or solenoid click.. etc

and I am guessing it is usually the solenoid not the starter motor itself right?

Dead, nothing..no click....everyone told me it was the clutch pedal safety switch.

If it makes you feel better the trans went out on the SHO today so I will be $1300 poorer next week....best part is I it totally croaked as I pulled into the parking lot at work in Freeport, Il(BFE)

So I thought, get a rental.......errrrr.....no rental cars available in the entire town.....wife drove 160miles round trip to pick me up.

Hmm Jeff since you bypassed Vats as well as bypassed the clutch switch you may be in the market for that brass rod thats been popping up on Ebay. Id still get the rebuilt. GC
