See there Trevor,
Quote:
The wire from the switch on the transmission goes directly to the starter. the circuit wire should probably be 14 gage? Best you keep track of that Bosch relay you picked up, Jeff. You are still going to need it!! The reason: All the smart people are concerned with the wire in their starter circuit all the way from the ignition switch to the starter, right. Here is the problem. The battery power comes directly to the ignition switch. My voltmeter shows about 8 volts at the ignition switch at the wire that is the starter circuit. The power lead from the battery to the switch shows 12 or a little more. Of course the car starts some of the time. With the volt meter checking the start wire, if the car starts the voltage is 12 ish. Of course it is! otherwise the starter would not run. Because the ignition switch gets the full 12 volts from the battery and only shows 8 volts out of the switch to send to the starter, with the starter wire connected, the wires from the ignition switch to the starter are not a involved in the equation... without the wire to the starter connected, turn the key to start and always get the same voltage as the battery. hook it back up and if it doesn.t start, the voltage has droped to about 8 volts. I have a good idea what the problem is, but it is not the ignition switch and it is not the wiring. Take care Keith Last edited by kwren; 11-17-2007 at 01:47 AM. |

I suggest you get hold of an Oxford Dictionary which covers English as the English write it. I abhor favoring favours, tired tyres, colored colours. You obviously are a fan for a “realay” and a “circuitt”, niether Funk nor Wagnall would approve.

Can’t you write just once Keith, without continual sarcasm and make my day. Furthermore your use of bold type is not in good taste. I got it exactly right. You had not answered the question. I note that you have the skills to hook up a rear view mirror, but you also have clearly shown that you do not have a clue in regard to testing a circuit for voltage drop. Your silly question requires a silly answer, i.e. it is only a band-aid for those who do not have the strength or wit to dip a normal manually operated mirror. Take more care, Trevor.

Yeah, that was my problem when we put the five speed in the racer, I used speaker wire to run from the clutch switch to the old tranny wiring harness. When I replaced it with thicker wire, she started right up

This situation has been a challenge for me because I analyze people and try discover what makes them "tick". Tick... another Texas Dictionary word. I do that because I love people and I consciously pull for them to succeed. Correct me if I am wrong, ( need I ask), but in your case I see two major problems. You are not able to remember things, and perhaps more importantly, you simply do not understand what the words are saying. Suggestion: Maybe you should throw away your "Oxford dictionary" where you find your "impressive" words, and begin working on understanding the meaning of the little words in the posts on this site to start with, and later progressing to the five letter words, etc. If you need an example, here one is... Trevor you say "I got it exactly right. You had not answered the question." I told you I replied in a private message. I did not realize how desperate you were to try to grasp an understanding of the the situation. Would another apology fix this impasse? I will give it a try... sorry, sorry, sorry. Hope this helps... as always, Keith Last edited by kwren; 11-17-2007 at 06:41 PM. |

Yeppers, it is. Right up to the point that the insulation ends up in a smoking puddle in your carpet!

I agree, crazyhorse

Crazyanimal, I used your name in vain in a thread today. Some one had an up and down idle speed and I answered with the advice that you were kind enough to leave for me when I asked. Thanks... again Keith |

I suggest using a 14awg wire for each of the 2 neutral safety wires. I have found that switching 20awg to 14awg my starter issues went away. SO every 5mt I have done, I have offered or suggested replacing the wires with a heavier gauge. I am sure this is your issue

might be too big. 14-16 is what I use. Where did u get 12 gauge wire from and are you using the clip for the connection or are you using female end connectors??
