Good News and Bad News-No Start
Well the good news is I fixed the Vacuum leak....the bad..I am getting the no start. I originall ythought it was the battery, once replaced the car started right back up. Then this week with the new battery I go the no start again. The battery is showing 3.68AMPs and 12.42 volts when tested with a Fluke meter.
I notice that when I push in the clutch there is a volt drop...but not sure that means the Clutch relay is working or not. I am guessing starter, any other guesses? Ignition switch?

1. Jumper out the Clutch safety switch.
2. Replace Starter relay under dash. 3. Install my patented "Dreaded No Start Cure".  TomC "Crabs" |

Re: Good News and Bad News-No Start
Would I be seeing a voltage drop when I depress the clutch if the relay/switch was bad? Car started right back up when I went out again.
Any opinions.....

Re: Good News and Bad News-No Start
i believe if you are getting voltage drop you are ok .tto double ck work the clutch in and out while having the key in start mode. i found thatmy floor mat had bunched up once and couldnt press the clutch in far enough to activate the switch

Re: Good News and Bad News-No Start
Just got my floor mats tonight, so not the issue.....trying to get someone to tell me if the volt drop when I depress the clutch pedal means anything? To me it would mean the relay is working....but not sure,looking for feedback. I guess Jeff is saying it does not mean that the switch is working.
