I was swinging by the East Bay today to pick up a relay board I bought from Mueller on here, and sure enough, I stop to grab a coke since I was running about 15 minutes early, and the car wouldn't start when I get back. Call Mike and he comes out, we finally get the car started and head back to his place since he thinks it's the starter. He pulls the one off the build he has going, and hoists my car up and changes it for me. And when I tried to pay him more for the help he gave, he told me forget about it.

Mike, I just wanted to say sincerely, thank you my man, I owe you big time. Made it home, and didn't stall. Now, it wouldn't start after I had it sit for awhile, but I'm thinking Mark Henry's solenoid fix is up next on my list.

Thanks for being a life saver, and I will be getting that new starter to you post haste

Clip on a remote starter switch and leave it connected with trigger in engine compartment. This will save you until you finally chase down the bad connection or find it somehow related to the ignition key switch. I still have my spare trigger there.

My switch is the end of a wire. I touch it to the battery post. Crude it is.

I think I have you beat....for my V6 conversion and other plans down the road I cut out my rear trunk floor so I can just reach in there with a screwdriver to short out the hot terminal with the starter terminal
