I started my 91 SHO MTX and the starter kept running... turned the key on and off a few times, and it seemed to stop,.. I got it home and tried to start it and the starter would spin but not turn the engine over.
I replaced the starter and selonoid that mounts on the fender fire wall.
At this point I'm thinking the problem is in the ignition switch.... I'm going to experiment with a push button switch wired directly to the selenoid, if it works then fine thats what I'll go with, but if anyone might know what the problem is I'd appreciate any help..
Also I have the infamous random stalling problem that I've seen discussed on this forum alot.. Driving down the road and the car just dies in its tracks.. When this first started happening I would wait a period of usually 15 - 20 minutes and the car would start again.. As time went by I began to realize that every time it died I didn't hear the fuel pump activating while cranking the engine....
As more time went by I realized that the car would start after I got out of the car and checked under the hood.
as even more time went by I realized the car would start after i closed my door from getting back in the car from checking under the hood,
Now I've read it a few places and have been told to do many things to fix this problem.. I don't want to seem ignorant, but I refuse to replace the Crank Position sensor, or the fuel pump when slaming the hood or door will get the car going again... I believe it to be a loose wire somewhere in the nest of misery under the hood.
Finally my last gripe with my SHO is that every now and then my brake pedal won't return to its resting point and I have to pull it back up by putting my foot under it... I have replaced all rotors calipers pads and hoses on the car... It seems this car just refuses to get fixed.. Located in central PA 20 mins from Harrisburg, I will part with this Gem for $1200 or best offer, and trust me any reasonable offer will be considered.. Its a 91 sho+ Emerald green..
