Re: Please HELP!!! New Starter and Car still won't Start?!?!

Yes, those wires(crz/cntrl) won't be needed in the future cause i plan on putting at least a 16V in this machine eventually..... But the real problem is with the black plastic spacer that i can't get off the steering column. The Bentley Manual says in step 4. under Removing and Installing Steering C...

The extra wires goin to the turn signal had to be cut...guess that will be my first shot at soldering...

Re: Please HELP!!! New Starter and Car still won't Start?!?!

Re: Please HELP!!! New Starter and Car still won't Start?!?!

I can't roll/jump start the car cause that will screw with the MAF and the catalytic converter. This is what i was told and read in the Bentley Manual.

Trying to get a picture of the hall sender posted!

Re: Please HELP!!! New Starter and Car still won't Start?!?!

Re: Please HELP!!! New Starter and Car still won't Start?!?!

The hall sender is plugged in, the connection seems to be fine, it's just not attached to the side of the distributor. Like i said, all wiring seems to be intact. Funny too, i had the Terminal 50 plug on the wrong connection on the solenoid. When it was on the wrong one the starter tried to turn the...
