Ok let me summarize I have searched the forum but haven't hit on my exact problem and I can't seem to find it anywhere on the 'Net
Motor will not start with the exception of a few random tries. Turn the key and you can hear (what I believe) is the injectors priming but no starter. What I have done Checked the battery (it is new but I checked anyway) pulled alll the battery connections and cleaned them as well as the ground wire to the base of the solenoid. Replaced the starter still no joy though I can jump the two posts of the solenoid and the starter will fire. took out the test light and then the multimeter and I have on the battery side of the solenoid about 13. V with the key turned over to the start position I get the same voltage at the yellow wire with red stripe attached to the post labeled "S" I am assuming this is the neutral safety switch Still nothing on the other side of the solenoid leading to the starter. There is a 4th wire attached to the post labeled "I" on the solenoid which gives me zero Volts in any key position. The problem I am having is that this wire upon leaving the solenoid immediately tucks into a well taped up bundle of wires that join the with another bundle of wire and I cannot locate where it terminates. . . So I am unsure what to check. Hoping someone can tell me something and avoid a costly trip to the local mechanic.
Thanks all
