You have me there - but get this;

I will be working on my starter on Thursday. *sigh* At 133K miles, it is starting to loose its torsion bar. (Spins, but does not engage the flywheel) It will get a series of "false starts" where the motor turns, but does not engage the flywheel. Usually by the third turn of the key, she'll catch and fire. When I swap it out, I will tell you for certain what that pin is for. (If there is one on my truck too - it's an older OBD-1.5 '95 with VIN "W" 4.3 CPI) I am currently waiting around for a factory new Bosch replacement to be shipped in. If I find and figure it out, I will post back. Hang tight man!
