ok, i got the 85 all together, put a new starter, and sylonoid on it(twice), and for sum weird ass fuckin reason, even if the key is on the off posi, the car wants to start itsself, from past experience, this told me either the started is puttin out too many amp and is toast, or the sylonoids not grounding out on the fender, or the sylonoid is shit, after replacing the sylonoid twice and the starter once, i doubt thats it, the car has fuel and spark but wont start and wen i hook the battery up all it wants to do is try to start. need sum advice on this or if neone would like to make 20bux to take a look and see if u can fix, plz let me know.

 

Call me, Ill tell ya how to fix it. Im up all night

 

cant call ya tonight, but ur in riverveiw, think u could swing by on friday and take a look see at wat i have, and wat the problem may be? thanks tommy

 

Its a 2 second fix

 

alright then, i'll call u in about 5 mins

 

Its just easier to explain over the phone then to type it all

 

Switch BATT and STARTER cables around and call it a day

 

Did you buy the coupe recently or are you the original owner who was selling it on here? I was two days from going to get that car but my schedule kept me from harboring a project at the time. Wondering how its running now that its back together.

 

well, we will see today actually, wen i get home, im gonna do wat tommy said and hope to the evil monkey its starts and shuts off without the cables being off.


i bought the car from jason(69boss521) on a smokin deal we had already worked out, i just had to find a day off from work. so we will see, i posted sum pics in the projects after washing/waxing it and puttin it together, it went together fairly easy, so..... we will see

 

Another thing to check is the starter solenoid itself. If you bought it at someplace like Autozone, they are cheap crap. I had a similar problem and found that the solenoid was welding itself closed when it tried to start. That happened on 3 new ones in a row. I went to the junkyard and got a real live Ford solenoid, used and dirty though it was, and have never had the problem since.
