Definitely! I had picked up a spare distributor and ignition coil from a friend of mine as back up while i was trouble shooting, luckily i didn't have to install them.

My car was running perfectly fine before storing it for winter which is why i was puzzled.

I tested the starter OFF the car and it tested fine, kicked out and spun fast, then once it was back on the car all it would do is CLICK.......meaning solenoid kicks out but doesn't spin so lead me to run another Ground directly to the battery and that caused it to crank.

Lucky for sure, new part has arrived at my dealer so i'll be picking it up tonight :).

Since weather is warmer decided to pull out the teins from storage and get it all cleaned up and refreshed with new top mount bushings and ready for mounting :) Replaced the top mount bushings with energy suspension ones.

Can't wait to test out the edfc controller haha.
