rollstarting
 

why cant i roll start my 95 5spd ctd? ignition on, 2nd or 3rd gear...just coasts to a stop. i do have an electronic imobilizer requiring a chip to b plugged into a module before it can start even with a key, and that is plugged in as well but it wont even try to start. and ideas/suggestions? would like the option of roll starting cause im in remote places a lot and in case the batteries/ starter ever fail....

To do this you must first turn the key on and then pull the plunger up on the fuel shut-off solenoid. If you are trying to start it with a dead battery, you'll have to tie the plunger up. The pull-in section of the solenoid is activated by the starter circuit.

:agree: exactly what he said

Why I converted to a pull kill.

mine is failing me from time to time. im am considering a manual shut off.

Starter contacts and a new fuel relay would be my first changes.. Should fix that right up.

LarryB' site will fix what ails ya..

Pull it off and clean/lubricate/replace the rubber boot, common. I kind of like the manual shutoff idea as well though.

yeah stick to the "K.I.S.S" method of KEEP IT SIMPLE, STUPID!!!!
