The problem that I am having is not starting or starting and immediately dying. I pulled the fuel solenoid and cleaned it, and checked the linkage, everything was ok. I have replaced my original fuel solenoid relay with a Radio Shak 30 amp type. Next I started checking voltage, the batteries are at 12. 73 volts. When applying meter to 12 v pull up wire going to the coil, I get a reading of 11. 08v when cranking over the engine. . I have a spare Radio Shak relay so I installed that one, it also reads 11. 08v at the wire going to the fuel solenoid.
Have any of you guys experienced a bad wire in the loom from the relay to fuel solenoid? I can apply a jumper directly from the battery to the fuel solenoid and it will snap up in half a heart beat each time, or do you think there is a problem with the relay. Oh I forgot to mention that I pulled the blue wire off the positive side of battery and cleaned it real good. I can also, with the key on lift the fuel solenoid and it will hold in, and the truck will start. I also installed new starter contacts last summer. So guys, where do I go from here? (No I don’t want to trade it in on a new truck, I am a die-hard 12 valver.
