I've owned my 71 TR6 for 10 years and have made multiple changes to include re-wiring, new ignition system (Petronix), gauges (took out old gauges and upgraded the new gauges so I don't have to use the stablilizer). That said, the car has mostly garage sat for the last four years so the new stuff, is still new! However, brings me to the reall issue. Recently the car refused to start after it was hot, figured vapor lock as after it said it started right up. Then a few days later it completely died and had to have it towed to a shop as I tried everything. Finally mechanic claimed the starter was bad. Just had it replaced before I sat the car down; okay, replace it again. Picked the car up, got it home and boom after a couple of starts the new aftermarket ignition switch got nothing and it never seemed like it was working correctly. I checked and it had "juice" was the car wouldn't do anything, no starter click, etc. I then installed just a push button three pronged hookup and used a remote starter and neighbor got any response! Then I checked the if any current was getting to the three pronged plug and if it was the car should've started or turned over. Upon checking the switch/button it was hot at the battery pull and no current at the solenoid pull. Now I don't know if the ignition switch, not working is the problem or the starter/solenoid (new) is at fault. I'm really at a loss, anyone know if the car should've bypassed the ignition switch with the push button switch or is the starter/solenoid bad since no current is coming to the switch from the solenoid? Thanks in advance. Just about ready to sell the car, getting to old to get under hoods and dashes.
