Hi I have a 1994 delsol that won't start at all.. There is a new battery and alternator in it and, new relay. So when I try to start the car I turn the key and nothing happens at all it doesn't even turn over or make any sound at all. I'm
Thinking it needs a new starter or new soleniod.. Any ideas?

So when you put the test light on the negative terminal and turned the key to the start position it didnt turn on?

Yeah it doesn't turn on

Check your ignition switch.

What am I checking for with the ignition switch? And will a 12v meter light work instead of a multimeter? Also should I put in a new starter as well?

Yoitshector

Your going to need a multimeter. You said the engine cranked didnt you? If so, you wouldn't need to replace being the fact that you bypassed everything to test the starter and solenoid.
Let me see if I can find the ignition switch test that RonJ sent me a little while ago.

I had a similar problem, with these cars the soldering points on the starter solenoild disconnect. Sometimes when you resolder every point and put it back in, it'll fire right up. It was with my EG Si.

Did you ever find the ignition switch test?
