shabu wont start this time, no modifications i swear!
at work today she had a hesitation. not liek a dead battery but just a took it a sec to realise it was trying to be started.
got home
was getting ready to head to the wash and nothing....
checked every fuse
checked battery juice ( even tryed the 100A start feature )
unplugged and bridged the clutch pressure switch.
nothing
i got it to crank over once, but then i shut it off to try again and nothing.
any ideas? its makeing it ever harder to love shabu like i once did.

Wow man, that sucks. I honestly don't have any ideas. Maybe its getting close to the time to retire the ole gal and get a GT.

Did you test the battery to see how many volts it had. I'm thinking a dead battery or dead starter selonoid.

the battery is good i know that much. hell it should atleast do something lol....
the solonoid should be good.this is something that just suddently happened.
heck i even drove her causally home today.
that GT is looking better and better, sept it will be a Mopar product this time! ( its ok ill still visit )
if i could find a buyer for 15K id sell her in a heart beat, but i doubt ill find one willing to take it...then again i do live in snobville

Swap the starter relay with one of the other ones in the fuse box (they're all the same).

you could borrow my fnp .45acp...youll have 15rounds to finish er...if your battery is charged i have no clue...starter would be first, fuses, fuel pump, alternator should be fine, wires and connections from key, to battery and starter...i dunno.
