Hello all,
Here's what I've done: I've made a lot of upgrades all at once (probably a bad idea), one of which was the installation of the DSII. Once I fired it up, it started no problem and idled super smoothly. Now that I've started it a few times, run it around the block once or twice, it doesn't want to start, or rather, startes only occasionally.
Initially I thought it had "warm starter" syndrome, but it did the same thing tonight after sitting all day. Also, one of the first times it didn't start I shifted into neutral and it started right up. Now that doesn't work either.
Is there some kind of starter "safety" that I'm not aware of? I know that there's a neutral safety switch, but I think I have that covered. What I do get is this clicking sound from near my control module/dizzy. I've double checked the wiring on this and it looks fine. The only "old" wire is the original hot wire from the ignition switch to the + side of the coil.
I plan to pull the starter relay and the voltage regulator and take them to autozone to have them checked. (The starter is brand new and the alternator checked out okay at autozone.)
Anything else?
