Well, that was 4 mos ago; and I did nothing with that car. But this passed weekend, I took a little time to take a gander and discovered something surprising. We have a lot of wildlife in the backyard now; including 1 feral cat. I suspected that it's a female as I can't smell cat piss back there. So naturally, I opened the tarp and cleared the cobwebs out from under the car to inspect it for odors. When I got into the engine compartment; I noticed a short 8AWG wire with ring terminals on both ends. It was sitting on the core support/Ford tool tray. I scratched some more hair off my balding head for a few hours trying to ID that wire. Then I remembered that my Powermaster starter didn't come with wiring instructions or a wiring diagram. At the time when I installed it, I wired the starter like the OEM starter was wired. I may have errored in doing that. I went to their website to find the instructions, but they don't have anything available for that model starter (9403). But, they have wiring diagrams and instructions for their other starters for the small block Windsor Ford engines. I noticed that Powermaster had in bold print that Ford vehicles with a remote starter solenoid must have a jumper wire installed between the battery terminal and the ignition terminal on the starter. Even though it is for other models of starters; I wondered if that applies to mine? So I sent them an e-mail this morning asking that question. I just got a reply and it's confirmed; I needed to have that jumper wire for the starter. I wonder if that was the cause of the "no start" with the key condition? I am going to have to find the time to siphon all the old gas out, put in new gas (with a lot of cleaner), and prime the engine to find out if that was part of my problems.
