Re: Help Me!!!!

You've probably found the trouble by now , but here's what I told the other guy with the '86:
Check the battery cables and starter wiring for loose or corroded connections. These cables have to support a lot of current to run the starter. If the starter is bad you can sometimes repair it with a new set of brushes or just replace the solenoid. I've even opened up solenoids and cleaned the high current contacts to make them work again. Once I even was able to just tighten the screws holding the field magnet in place to fix a starter. But all this may be getting into too much time spent and you'll just want to get a new or rebuilt starter by that time
