Hi Pizzaguy,
Yes, I was thinking I should start a new thread since it looks like my issue and 1sweetrides issue are different. Maybe the best thing to do is label posts by the symptoms instead of a guess at what the solution to the problem is since the path to the solution may go through many "solutions". I was thinking I'll title my new thread "no crank, no start, black square in the IC". That way it's not specific to a single component or system.
