Pioneer4X4,


I can get confused with my own posts. To summarize:


I have had no previous problem in five years I've had it. Smooth, strong, consistent.
Had it Eurocharged flashed/tuned about three years ago.
Trip to Kentucky late May, no problems but in extremely heavy rains much of the trip there and back.
I'm in a very rural area, found a rat in the garage and feces in floorboards and trunk, so suspected damage to wiring. None found so far.
No noise from starter.
Thermometer now reads -36 degrees. Don't know how that would relate.
Resoldered connections on RCM per forum go-by. No change. This could still be the issue.
New battery, just to be sure. No problems with previous battery or charging issues.


I measure 12v at starter, but nothing at starter solenoid. I have 12v through clutch safety switch to pulse module pin B, but no voltage at pin F with key and start position.


Substituted a used pulse module with no change.


If I jumper the solenoid post to starter motor 12v, it will engage. That was unintentional.


I have not considered trying to pull it to start, or put 12v to the solenoid with the key on, assuming that many parameters must be met for it to run. I am fairly comfortable under the hood, as long as the car has points under the distributer cap.


I have not checked fuel pressure but can do that.


Thanks for any ideas. Will hold off on trying to pull it to start it for a while longer.
