Stupid Solenoid!

man, I had to push start my car 2 times........gay!

I discovered my solenoid was falling right off,..
when I jacked up the car, and took out the starter to get to the darn solenoid,
I discovered the also that the solenoid only had one bolt holding it in, and wasn't even attached.
So I looked around for spare bolts, and luckily found one, and fixed the problem.

I hear from some people who owned a 1st gen before that this problem happens alot..

I've never heard of that happening. Try some Lock-Tite this time.

There should be 3 screws that hold the solenoid on. I guess bolts with the same thread pitch and length would work.
