86 GTV6 - won't start
Posted: Wed Jan 04, 2012 3:51 pm
Hi guys,
I'm new here, just bought an 86 GTV6 and it arrived from the shipper dead. PO said it started fine before. But for me when I turn the key--Nothing, zero noises, no clicking or anything really. All interior electrics, lights, etc. still work. I've recharged the battery, but no luck. We had to jump start it off the truck, so I know it runs fine.
My first attempt at cleaning up the starter wire connections at the firewall did not seem to do anything, and having gone thru this forum section just can't seem to find the source of the problem whether it be the starter motor, brushes, wires, etc.
Any ideas where to look? All help much appreciated, as I'm not keen to take it to the mechanic right away after the gangster shipping fees and the holidays...I'm in SoCal and would use Omega Motorsports eventually (used to drive a 71 GTV for 6 years).
Thanks,
Mike
