From what you are describing it sounds like you need a new solenoid.

if you dont mind me asking how can that be what would be the differents if i give it 12v threw turning the key or 12v from the battery that woyld make me think that th selonoid would be good or are you talking about a different selonoid if you no what wire im talking about its the white/blue wire that has a plug just before it goes int the big harness that crosses the firewall if i unplug the to wires and use a test light on the side that comes out of the big harness and you turn the key to the crank spot i get no power ar all
