Still having starting issues, and now it wont start at all.

[theother1wstolen]

My car still won't start, the starter isn't even engaging now, every so often it will click, but thats it, and ive replaced the relay, the ignition, the battery, the starter, and cleaned all connections. Any other ideas?

where are your grounds attached

[theother1wstolen]

you mean the battery and engine grounds?

[periferal7]

yes, the ground from battery to chassis

[periferal7]

if your connections are clean and grounds are tight and clean, then the starter you purchased, i am assuming is (solenoid) is bad

[theother1wstolen]

i have one going from the battery to the engine in the factory spot, and one going from there to an existing body ground, all clean.

[theother1wstolen]

also, ive tried 8 different starters, in vein hope.

where did you purchase the starter?

[periferal7]

test the starter out of the car

[theother1wstolen]

advance

[theother1wstolen]

going to try that tomorrow, what does it tell me if i pull it out and it works fine tho? i heard something about possibly shimming the starter?

[theother1wstolen]

also thank you soooooo much for the fast reply

[periferal7]

Well shiming the starter is not common with imports, that is usually a GM/FORD ISSUE.try outside test and if you would like to call me in the PM. you are more the welcome,Carlos 407/4012294.I have been building cars for about 20 years and am a ASE mastertech,not a BOOK JUNKIE.

[theother1wstolen]

really appreciate that, i know my car inside and out, but this one has just baffled me completely and i always appreciate expert advice.

[periferal7]

Well I am pretty new to this forums, and being that most people here are so helpful, all I can offer is the same, I always love to help my fellow import supporters as much as I can. We can resolve your issue,just test the starter tommorrow and let me know.

turns out my brand new borg warner ignition switch crapped out, starting a new thread about a different problem that i caused via my own stupidity tho.
