This is exactly why i think some of these members need to be drop kicked in the throat. Next time read his post more clearly. He said it wouldnt even turn over. and 58K dosent mean dillznick as far as "being due for a rebuild".. The last thing we need is being saying hey... im at 60K miles.. time to change my engine". im pimping it with 70K on my OD and it still has 8.8 comp across all faces.

K, got another question. WHat all do I need to pull off to remove that cover that goes around the steering column? Do I need to pull the whole steering wheel to get that off?
Thanks
Thanks
Hmm, ignore that question above. She's fixed! I started just going around the circuit checking for voltage along the wire that goes to the S terminal on the starter with the key in start... No current was getting through the starter cut relay (the relay that your alarm uses to prevent people from starting your car.) I bypassed that and now she starts right up!
Anyone else have similar problems?
