Good evening everyone,
I've got my new/used 326 Red Ram in my car. Engine spins over nicely, I have spark and good oil pressure while cranking. The problem is when I turn the key the engine will crank and attempt to fire but then stop. Then I turn the key and nothing...no clicking nothing happens. I can wait a few minutes and it will sometimes crank again or I can play with the transmission buttons and try going through the gears by pushing them. Sometimes the car will crank again. (Note: I do have a new starter and all new battery cables and a fully charged battery).
I'm wonder if it's possible I have a neutral safety switch going bad on the transmission (it has the 2 speed Powerflight transmission). I did clean the contact wire ends on both the relay solenoid and the switch itself on the side of the transmission. I'm also wondering if it could be the relay solenoid itself going bad? Both of these are original to the car. Is there a way to tell for sure if either are bad? When this issue happens I can't even jump the starter at the relay with a remote switch.
Thanks for any help and guidance.
