Okay so my wrench called last night. Car was all finished & he went to fire it up. Turns over fine but no start. This is what it was doing before the fire. Also off & on it has plagued me since I got the car. I've replaced the ignition with multiple times. I added a push button for the starter to take that off the switch. Seemed like there was to much power going through it which I thought was from the starter. Obviously it is not.
One thing is almost without fail as soon as I put in a new switch & use it I get smoke from it every time. It would be fine right after the brief smoke so I didnt worry to much about it. What else is feeding the ignition switch that may be pushing to much power through it? What do you guys recommend doing here? Cutting out the switch completely? Do you think the problem lies somewhere besides the switch? |

Where we are at today. Mike found my headlight relay was fried. The white wire with blue stripe I think feeds that. With my aftermarket gauges there is a fair amount of wiring up there under the dash. Since there is a fair amount of new wiring & the aftermarket Engman panel. There is some wiring that doesn't exactly match the 914 diagram. We are 95% sure it is good to go. Before trying to start the car. I'm taking it to another shop to be sure. Mike's put a lot of time into it & wants to be sure too.
So first of next week it is off to get the wiring checked at a new shop. Hopefully it will be a real quick turn around there. If they can actually get on it right away. I may have it back next weekend. LOL! I'm not holding my breath though. I'm content to wait until it is perfect (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) |
