None that I'm aware of. That's what I've got.

Make sure they are hella clean. No rust no corrosion no paint.

 

Cool beans. You know I had this very issue with with my 89' Jetta, only the ground wire had rotted inside the the insulation. I ended up taking it to a dealership (for a mere 500 bucks!!) to find that out. But now that I think back to that issue, it was a lot like this issue. After dinner I'm out to check ground wires...

Just run a new one if your corosion is bad. Its just a big multi strand coper wire. Pick one up at a home improvement warehouse. Bigger the better

Great... now I just talked MYSELF into buying more stuff for the RX7.

 

Ok, in my quest to find out what the hell is wrong with my car, I've sorted some things out and once again need the communities help.

1: has 12v all the time. Check, it's good

2: gets 12v when the key is turned and engages the magnet, sending the spur gear forward. Check, it's good.

3: gets 12v (high amps) to tell the starter to spin, when the key is turned. No juice. Nothing there when the key is turned or anything else.

When I trace this wire back it goes to a little silver box on the driver's side fender wall labeled "3P 2E Relay" I'm assuming this thing went bad? Can i make a jumper to bypass this to find out?

I've already replaced:

The starter
The main ground wires
The Battery

What does this relay ALSO connect to?
As always, you guys are the bomb and I'd buy you all a beer if it were practical.

No takers on the relay issue?
