Re: [DML] Cold start need help

[Warren Wallingford <warren@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Perhaps the female contacts inside the plug are spread or pushed up some 
into the boot.  The TTS grounds to the body of the waterpump, which 
grounds to the engine.  That circuit is hard to troubleshoot because 
ground is everywhere.  The only other thing is if you used teflon tape 
on the threads, that might insulate the TTS from ground.  Very strange.

THe battery is great, and the starter cranks like a champ (just replaced both starter and solenoid) but it will not turn over unless I ground one of the wires to the thermal time switch.  (If I ground one of the wires the starter seems deactivated, and if I ground the other one it starts right up, no problem, but I must unplug the thermal time switch and ground that lead to start the car every day.  I just replaced the thermal time switch thinking obviously this would fix the problem, but it didn't, I still have to ground one lead to start cold, or else I am cranking forever.  Any suggestions?
