Well hell. Got myself a new battery, tested the voltage in a few places-at brain using the 3 prong lead, at starter) tried to check from ignition to brain while cranking, but couldn't figure out which post it was.
Installed Nippondenso starter (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PORSCHE-911-MINI-STARTER-IMI-PORSCHE-912-914-% 20930_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33576QQihZ012QQitemZ220006680668QQrdZ1QQsspagen ameZWDVW) Thanks Dr. Evil... Checked voltage, always hot, made sure everything was plugged into the right place... yes. Got lots of lights and a damn loud stereo volume, but not even a click from the starter. Just.... nothing, zip, nada. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Dude, what's up with my car? |

This may be worth nothing, but my solution to a similar problem was the ground to the (-) battery terminal was bad. I would get a click from the new starter, but not enought good juice to turn it over. The metal post on the body was all rust and paint and broke off when I turned the nut. Grounding the battery to the fan housing solved my "intermitant starter" problem. Good luck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
