I tightened and cleaned this and it starts
Right up after multiple no starts.
This makes sense as every time I touched this
Connector with a screwdriver it starts right
Up.
But I guess since I was getting a click
From the solenoid it was the loose connection
Causing a resistance so solenoid not engaging
All the way?
I hope this is it, I'll be thrilled.
Gonna work on the alternator and see
How it goes.
Thanks !
A simple lose connection.
