I will have to take my earlier statement back. After scrutinizing my main relay under a good light to the information posted on this site there are definitely a couple of cracked/dry joints.

When the Main Relay goes bad

 

the one below the top left joint looks questionable. I see a circular crack.

 

And... the after shots. Not great. But, hopefully it'll work.

 

Alright, well... that didn't work. Plugged the main relay back in, turned the key in the ignition and same thing. So, it's either my soldering job or the starter (or fuel pump relay?). Thinking about picking up a brand new main relay before moving onto the starter.

Looking at these two off the bay:

Any suggestions/recommendations greatly appreciated.

Best!

 

take your intake off and spray starter fluid into the intake manifold while someone cranks it. If it fires its a fuel issue, if it doesnt its a spark issue.

Its best not to throw money at a problem when you dont know if its spark or fuel.

 

did you jump start it after the solder job? you had mentioned earlier that the battery was getting weak.

 

How does the soldering job I did look to you guys?

Thanks!

 

It's OK. It's tough to retouch joints with the board varnish still on there. Cleaning the varnish off with nail polish remover or acetone or even carb cleaner sprayed on a rag results in much prettier solder joints. But even if they're not pretty, they look like they'll work.

 

Hello, gentlemen.

Here's a video I did this morning of trying to start the car. GF said that there was a "clicking" noise coming from what she thought was the starter after I pointed to where it was. I did a video from the inside as well, but the quality was bad and you couldn't make out any sounds.

Not the best vid quality, but I hope you'll be able to narrow it down for me a little bit.

Thanks very much!

 

did you have enough battery?
