[QUOTE="94kingcbra, post: 501987, member: 9140"] What you have sounds like a problem in the control circuit. The control circuit consists of the ignition switch, relay, the S terminal on the starter itself, and all the wires connecting them... Try switching out the relay with a similar one. If it's not the relay, then you might have a connector that has corrosion. If you can't find anything, then look at the small wire going to the S terminal on the starter. First, disconnect the fuel pump relay. Take a digital multimeter and place the red lead on that terminal, and then place the black lead on the case of the starter. Have a buddy turn the ignition switch to start. (This should turn the starter without the engine starting.) Your multimeter should have at least 12V...if it does then.... Follow that wire and look for any bad spots. Pay attention to the area around the headers and anywhere near heat. If it still acts up, try bypassing the wire with a wire from the relay to the s terminal or from the ignition switch to that relay...I wish I could be there to help, there are so many things you can do...Good Luck [/QUOTE]
