Why? It never goes over 1/3 on the temp gauge. Runs fantastic when it starts. I just need the RB pre-silencer and a new starter.

This has to be the largest tech thread to solve the simplest of problems.

Not hating, but come on, replace the damn starter already.

And connect that GROUND CABLE!!!!

Just think how helpful it will be when someone is searching. This could be the end-all, be-all of starter threads.

So those two loose wires, should they go on the front of the bolt that runs through the starter? I just took the starter off and I'm going to clean all the contacts and put it back on to see if that fixes my problems. Since that bolt is loose, I can put those two wires on pretty easily.

Took the starter off, cleaned the contacts, bolted it back in, car fired right up.

That piece that was not attached was just a bracket holding a bunch of wires. The actual main engine ground was connected after all. I put the bracket on anyway.

Car is good to go.
