No start. 200 1989 posted by  CalW on  Tue Oct 13 13:35 CST 2009 Author: [PROFILE] [EVERY POST] [THREADS] [BEST POSTS]     [IGNORE ALL POSTS] last visit: Sun Mar 14 22:00 CST 2010 [RELATED] I have developments to report and more advice to ask. A few days ago I connected the test lead up by the dipstick to the positive battery terminal and got sparks, clunks and then engagement of the starter. Today I did the same thing but turned the key to run first. Car started right up...and I quickly whipped off the jumper wire. Turned car off and then tried to start normally. It worked. I've tried this a dozen times since in the last hour and each time except once, it started. That one time, I was back to zilch. So I can't celebrate. Does this tell you the ignition switch should be replaced, or the starter? I don't know what I'm bypassing with the test...whether the ignition switch or the starter solenoid or what. I'm prepared to order whatever I should get, if I can only figure out what that is. Earlier test of the neutral position switch indicated it was not the problem. Jiggling key, the shifter Progress! Thanks to you all. But I'm not there yet. Hopefully this will clarify things for folks in the know.
