[Shotimes] FW: No Start Condition

[Jason Hartberger]

Try joining the yahoo group (it's new! and replaces this one) at 
http://groups.yahoo.com/v6sho. Post to there, most of us are on that 
list exclusively now (I'm not). Oh, but what the other guy said is 
right. If it won't even turn over, it's not the DIS/CPS/anything like 
that. Battery, Starter, Cables, Solenoid. In that order. Rust on the 
terminals will cause it to not turn. Once you get it to turn well, I 
would suspect wiring. CPS and cam sensor are the only two things that 
will fail intermittently like that. Wiring/terminal/lead might be 
bad/rusted. Have fun with that one, it's hell.
