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? |

Don't feel bad .... rebuilders and mini-torque manufacturers buy solenoids from a supplier. Sometimes they don't get crimped as well as they should (they crimp the can around the bakelite to hold it) and it won't make contact as is should. Try shutting your car off at a gas station, pumping gas, getting into start it and having the starter motor continually run with the key on, but no engagement of the bendix gear. Yep, the poor crimp, the solenoid rotated enough to get contact from the hot battery lead to the starter motor lead. A twist of the solenoid and we're on our way again.
