Need some help starting problems
Hi
Truck ( 92 150 6 cylinder stick) would not start after stopping for gas,lights and radio would work.Like my name, idontknowjack but did remember something and that was to take a screw driver and place it across the ?? ( cylnoid ) or whatever and it started.Got it home yesterday and was shocked that it started this morning.Guess i just don't want to get stranded next time it wants to quit on me so if anyone can give me any ideas for me to check out i would appreciate it.Thanks.

You can also use a piece of 10 gauge wire.

Sounds like you may have a problem with your neutral safety switch. It will be on the clutch pedal arm area. The color wires should be the same as out on the starter relay where you are jumping it. You can jump across the switch and see if it will start with the key to see if the switch is bad. Make sure it's out of gear.

Yes it started that one time at the starter relay switch to get me home and now this morning started with just the key.That is where i am at.I am not experienced enough to go around doing anything at the clutch pedal arm but was hoping it was going to be simple.Thanks.
