Ahhhhh the infamous Hot Starter Not Worky problem HSNW for short (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
This a normal 914 problem and there are a few solutions. 1. Add a Ford solinoid next to the starter 2. Take apart the starter solinoid and clean it very well (this may buy you a bit more time but it will fail again) 3. Replace the starter I will try to find a link to how to wire the solinoid Here it is Solinoid install |
