Put in my new Accel plug wires and put a "catch can" on my PCV valve hose! The wires even came with 5 H.P. worth of stickers!

Good to know, thanks for clarifying that for me, I mistakenly thought the cruise switch was the only switch there was.

Negatory good buddy, only switch I see associated with the clutch is the plunger switch at top of clutch pedal.

Where the starter is located and the myriad of lines, hoses and cables that you have to fish it through make it very difficult the first time around! I deposited a fair amount of blood and skin getting it out! Once I had gotten it out though and knew how to navigate the "maze", it went in easier...

Less stuff to go wrong on a GS, so by reasoning less maintenance, but any car will fall apart if ya don't take care of it. Also though, a turbo does put a LOT of stress on an engine, even though they're built for it I think they are a higher maintenance machine than n/t. IMHO though having a DSM...

Ok, replaced the starter this morning (with new solenoid of course), an act of which by itself should bestow the rank of "master mechanic" to any who can accomplish such a feat! So lets see how it goes!

Just pulled my starter....JUDAS PRIEST on a PONY! What a pain! On my way to town to get a new one.OK, new starter is in! Actually was easier putting back in than taking out, go figure?Also found oil in my upper IC pipe so I put a "catch can" on my PVC hose.

That makes lots of sense, thanks! :)

So I thought my starter relay was bypassed, but apparently the module under the radio on the far right is the S/R, but the module to the left of it IS bypassed....what is it? (sorry the pic so bad, I just stuck my phone under console and snapped a photo)

Did not know that, don't I feel silly!

I have considered that , If it were the battery it would drag or just click, but I think your on to something with the starter going bad. It's up on ramps now, so I'll check out the starter. Also, both times I've had to push start the car :( it throws a check engine light, any idea what that is...

If ya absolutely HAVE to drive then do what ya gotta do, but definitely keep an eye on it! If you starve your turbo for oil it will not be pretty!

Turn the key and have plenty of power but starter would not engage. Car normally starts WITHOUT depressing clutch pedal even though plunger switch on clutch IS plugged in. Starter relay is bypassed via connecting the appropriate wires. I pulled the NSS out of the top of tranny and had son...

If ya do get another motor keep your old one to rebuild/learn on! Don't let it go as a "core" if ya can help it. Welcome to DSM's They're a blast while they run! :hellyeah:

I just put a set in my car about a week ago and so far so good! (BPR6ES).
