Guys,
Having some intermittent starting problems with the 60. Sometimes (seems to be only when warmed up) when I turn the ignition key to "on", the dash warning lights do not come on. The radio does, and if I hit "start", it will happily crank and fire for a few revs, then die. I've also found that sometimes the warning lights come on:
1) whilst cranking (then it will fire & continue to run)
2) if I turn the ignition key to off (then I can turn back to ON & start as though there was no problem)
I had a problem with the starter recently (just clicking instead of cranking) and this has been fixed (contacts corroded in the starter). (I've no idea how water could have gotten in there..... ....)
I had this problem (intermittently) prior to having the starter done, so I'm not going to assume that it was a result of the work (although I did find the auto-lecky left my oil-pressure sender disconnected and also left the end-cap bolts on the starter finger-tight).
A turbo-timer was on it when I bought it. While I have been somewhat suspicious that it could be a cause, it appears to be a solid-state device, so surely it will either work or not.
Ideas, anyone?
Oh, it's a 1988 60 with a 2H and after-market turbo.
Cheers.
P.S. I did search for related info, but couldn't find anything. Be gentle - I'm new here.....
