My car died at lunch today.
The only thing that happened was the volt meter went to zero when I tried to engage the starter. When I turned the key back the voltmeter would go back to 12V. I didn't hear a click and the starter would not turn over. Has this happened to anyone before? Could it be the starter solenoid? I tried to start it multiple times and I got the same symptom. For the hell of it I disconnected the battery using the quick disconnect knob and reconnected it. The motor started right up. I have a 3.2 in my car with stock dme with no alarm or anything else that would disconnect the starter. Any ideas?? Thanks in advance for your help. Steve |

I had one of those brass quick disconnects with the green knob.....
Same deal, no start, clean it..they corrode between the two pieces of brass just enough to do what you said. should be a yearly cleaning event. Rich |
