ok your right I can do that easily in the garage, I will make that my next step and see what happens. I will update the post afterwards.

 

Finally got around to the starter, it is perfect and actually looks new. About to install a new solenoid to try that out as well just in case. Updates shortly, but if this doesnt work I will need to tow this car somewhere and have it figured out.

 

It was solenoid, $16 later we are done good news!

 

 

Lucky. My wifes 89 Van computer ran the injectors continuously until the engine hydrolocked with gas.....She had it towed home...Took a wild guess when I noticed the engine wouldnt turn over with 2 good batteries and a screwdriver across the solenoid....I took out a plug and gas ran out to the ground. 7 plugs later and a spare computer and it was running again...got 7 quarts of oil/gas out of the H.O. Fox oil pan.Oh yeah, the throttle body was also dribbling gas(clue).I post this in case anyone ever has the same problem.

 

Ever seen a motor fire in this condition? When I was 13-14 a buddy was building a Duster, and it filled the crank case with gas...but not to the point it hydrolacked and fired!!! Holy Fawk! It blew every gasket out of the motor and the only thing left of the valve covers was the rail that bolted down. Scared the shyte outta me! Sounded like a bomb went off

 

Oh yeah, I have that T-shirt!
