Attention: TDR Forum Junkies The old fuel shut off solenoid bit the big one awhile back. Installed the new updated version with the new bracket on the 20th and it's been working like a charm. Went to crank it this morning and

no go! Left the key on and popped the hood. Sure enough, reached in and pulled the rod up and the sol. locked into place. She cranked right on up. The tech I talked to said to check all my connections

and such. I went ahead and put dielectric grease in the plug as it's been a bit wet around here and I figured it couldn't hurt to insulate the terminals a little extra. I've ordered a new relay for the fuel shut off solenoid and I'm gonna go ahead and install that too. It's the relay mounted on the firewall directly behind the pump area that acually looks like two relays together. The way it was explained to me, the solenoid is supposed to get an extra shot of "juice" to engage and then after it startes, it reduces the amount, due to the fact it doesn't require as much to hold it in the "on" position. I know this is a real common item to replace. Have I missed anything? Do ya'll think I may have just gotten a defective replacement solenoid? It's been working fine all afternoon but I know it's bound to act up again and don't want it to do it when the ol' ball and chain is driving it, especially considering what I just paid for the replacement solenoid.
