starter freewheels!!!

[Whizbang]

that is interesting. Sounds like its wired wrong since as soon as the car recieves power the start begins to spin BUT its not engaging the plunger forward. But your description sounds like its not. Ill recap for you just to double check. Or if you can get a picture.

K. So. The starter has two important connections points.

The larger threaded connection will have the wire from the battery and the wire with the eye hole connection (and if it hasn't fallen off, a rubber boot). This is basically at the top most portion of the soleniod.

Then there should be a spade connection. If i recall, the wire from the harness is a female, the solenoid is male.

So in all, there are three cables.


I am confused about the "negative" batt. connection you mention.
