Hi i was doing a tune up and valve cover gasket. I only changed the plugs though no wires. Afterwards no crank at all but all assecories have power. I checked battery 12and volts. Then 12v. At the starter power wire. And the at the solenoid wire i get .5 volts but when push the clutch in try to start it gets 12v. So i figured starter i replaced it today and no go. This just has me baffled. Any help is appreciated.

 

Have you tried jumping the starter?

 

I just tried the way i did it was i ran a wire from battery to the solenoid. No luck. Not sure if correct way? Iam used to the old ford trucks.

 

Iam guessing if i get power at starter and no start maybe bad starter? Or would the be a bad ground even though i get good volt at starter.

 

Probably bad starter take starter to auto zone and have them check it out

 

Thanks man ill do that tm before work. If it is bad that means 2 bad starter in one day the other broke at the bolt holes!

 

And also check your fuses you may just have a blown fuse

 

Did you accidentally unplug a ground wire from somewhere?

 

I kinda check the fuses ill do that today. And try a new ground location on engine i did disconnect one coming off the valve cover try different location. Last owner shaved and bondod it for somereason. But wierd part is there are ground wires on valve cover?

 

U guys were right ground the previous owner had it bolted into valve cover moved it the valve cover nut and it's. Alive!!!!! Thanks for the help guys hate troubleshooting electrical
