Greetings and salutations to all, Im new hear on this forum and I've already found lots of great info! But... thats aside from the point.
I have a 98' Gtx Ltd with the 951 engine. I just finished replacing the engine (previous owner managed to bend a rod somehow). Upon starting the new engine the starter would cut out after a second or two. I removed the plugs to see it it was compression related thinking this could possibly be a weak starter or bad connection. It still continued to cut out. I sanded and checked all my connections. Still continued to cut out. I did some research on other threads and saw alot of people say a bad dess connection could cause this. My thought is the START/STOP switch itself. Ide love to get opinions before i start throwing parts at it. All opinions and thoughts will be greatly appreciated!
