    Starter issues

    Its a done deal! The Ex is up and running. Unable to find a pos. cable without ordering. I picked one up at a local pick and pull, and was able to rebuild it. Since the cable burned to a crisp on Thursday, I had to replace the starter and my relay, both new this time...no junk yard pieces...

    Starter issues

    It does. Ran a new cable from the battery to the starter today...a nightmare for me. Picking up the new starter on Monday. I did have to crimp on a new "O" ring connector as you stated. There are three posts on the business end of the starter. One, a larger post, that I assume is for the 4 gauge...

    Starter issues

    Thanks for the reply. The only change I made was to get rid of the female connector on the burned wire and install a 3/8" round connector as the recycled starter had a post for the connection not a male pin like the the one I removed. Finally, if it is a short, would it have taken that long to...

    Idler Pully Broke?

    Lounge Lizard you hit the nail on the head. I found the idler pulley lodged in between the block and hoses. Seems as if the pulley just unscrewed itself somehow. Luckily I was able to salvage the bolt and front washers...bearings totally shot. Not sure which way the thin flat washer goes though...

    Idler Pully Broke?

    While doing 60 on the highway this am, I lost all control capabilities on my 94 Ex... managed to get it home, overheating of course. Opened the hood and found my new serpentine had come plum off.

    ABS issues??

    Thanks for the quick reply. The reason I'm on this site is because the guy is now conventiently hard to locate! Prior to my taking my XLT to this guy all the braking system was working fine. Now i'm up a creek and trying to determine the issues on my own. Thanks again.
