    Looks like I’ll need a wiring schematic. Should be able to find one online. I agree signal voltage should be checked. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I replaced the starter motor this past December but did not replace any cables. I did remove ground cable attached to block near starter, and used Emory cloth to clean surface. Reinstalled ground with some dielectric grease. In fact, I checked all grounds in engine bay. Loosed and re-tightened...

Did not notice any leaks from o-rings prior to removal. Mechanic performed an injector service after replacing fuel...

    I would have to apply a little pressure to accelerator pedal for it to start.

    At cold start, there is no hesitation. Fires right up. Once it sits for about 30-60 minutes after initial drive, it slowly cranks. It will then process to turn over quickly and not start.
