Installed a new battery it started. let it sit for a few minutes because the AOS tube had come loose and it would not start. Changed the starter last week. Checked relays and fuses. I installed a matched set i got a few years ago with a swap engine and no joy...


There is an electrical connector in a black plastic box in the engine compartment. I would call it a "ground" but I believe it is a positive terminal. When I turned the key and wiggled the cable the car started. I sprayed the connection/nut with a little battery cleaner, loosened/tightened the nut and the car works perfectly after eight months. Also I did have a warning sign in that the gas cap would not lock consistently before it went completely "no start"". So now all is well...the little things...sigh ....
