[Metro Mighty Mouse]

Multiple people have experienced this same problem with the metro. If the starter gets a good 12v it will work every time, but unfortunately whe way the system is designed it won't do it with any consistancy. Using the relay eliminates that problem because it doesn't take anywhere near the power to throw the relay and connect the starter to a strong 12v. This is an issue I have been dealing with ever since I have had the car, 6+ years now, and I have replaced the starter, added grounds, added an extra wire to the +12v connection on the starter, replaced batteries and cables and nothing eliminates the problem because the dinky starter wire and the losses associated with the circuit before the power gets to the starter prevent the solenoid from "throwing" hard enough to make a good connection and energize the starter motor. I posted this to give those that are having this problem, but no clue how to set up the relay, the simplest way to connect it.

Thanks
P.S. I wouldn't flame anyone over their opinion on something like that. I don't spend a lot of time on team swift and use it primarily as a location to research things I want to do to the car and to figure out what is possible and what is too much work.
