First of all, learn how to spell (been, not bin etc.), so we think you are intelligent enough to understand what you're talking about. It's all about what WE think, so don't screw it up .

More details needed if you want help, I'm guessing its cranking over if you replaced the starter... and dammit, why the hell would you care if your cold start assist is gone, you live in LA!

i quit

Will you guys lay off the guy? Remember, morons are entitled to display their stupidity, just like the rest of us. They just came out with a guarantee that you will never, ever, ever, have an engine fire again! Its called "CHANNEL DUH NOMER TIN-10"

PEACE THE DOG >>> AND ENGINES DONT START FIRES, LEAKY BRAIN MASS DOES!
