This metal box, with wires connected to it, is back by the transmission near the little black box that hangs under the transmission. The red wire conector would probably fall off if I pushed it with my finger (an easy fix), but I'm not sure what it is or what that electrical box is.
The other more disturbing item is the black cord hanging down on the exhaust (chewed up) that runs from the front of the car into the transmissoin. Does anyone know what these are off hand? Thanks in advance.  |

The AAR doesn't have anything to do with cranking over the motor.
If the engine cranks but doesn't catch, the starter isn't the problem. (The AAR is almost certainly not the problem either.) AAR and starter are completely separate systems. --DD |

I just went out and pulled that red wire off and tried to start the car. Wouldnt turn over. I reconnected it and mashed the sh*t out of it with some pliers and she fired right up! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
I will need to replace the connector, but I think this may fix the starting problem I have had since I bought it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) My day has been made.
