Ikke, Trevor,
The ignition system operates in this way.
When the key is turned to crank engine all other systems in the car are shut down on power except the power to the solinode and the ECU. You can test this by putting you car in gear and holding the key in crank mode you will notice same effect that Ikke is getting.
My suggestion is next time the car has trouble starting hold the key in Crank position and move the Auto gear stick around. If the key is on the crank position and the netural or park is playing up in the car it will start.
Trevor I understand the problem and need to use the light I just slid the wire back slightly on the starter and put a metter on it when it was trying to start. Thats when I found under load the voltage was dropping to 7-8 V if it went over 9 the car would start.
Ikke go do the gear stick trick.
Tony
