I'm still trying to get me car started. It's cranking fine but no start. I just want to make sure I got these starter relay connections all in order. I have the one starter wire bolted to one side of the post. And the rest including the hot battery cable on the other post. So I have one wire on one post and all the rest on the other post. Is this correct?

Could anybody explain to me how to troubleshoot a TFI moudle? My code reader is coming up system OK. It's a wal-mart code scanner.

I got a new coil, new coil pick up, and no vaccum leaks. I'm thinking its my TFI but want to make sure before I buy a new one for nothing. Thanks is advanced guys.

i replaced my start solenoid thinking it was the problem.

haha nope, it wasn't. i just finished my h/c/i and it started up the first try then i turned it off and took a shower. came back out to start it and it wouldn't start. all i have to say is CHECK YOUR GROUNDS.

usually when a TFI goes bad the car will start then die and wont start again for a while. i'd start with checking the wiring and make sure you dont have an alarm that automatically arms itself and disengages the starter

nevermind, just read that it cranks. did someone steal your rotor? or is your coil to rotor wire unpluggeD? check your plug wires/firing order again

Rotor is in the dizzy, coil wire is good, and I checked my firing ordering a thousand times.

I havent really checked my grounds yet. I will do that though. I got to go buy a better service manual.
