Talking

Nothing related to the sc10, just sharing my misery.

Car wouldn't start this morning.
Check battery first, all good.
Maybe the AEM EMS needed to be reset and reflashed. Nope.
Thought it may be the clutch disengagement sensor (tells CPU your clutch is pressed in) so I jumped the two wires to trick it into thinking the clutch was in all the time. That required me doing a head stand in the foot well trying to get at it buried under the dash. Cussing and banging ensued.
Got it and not change. Not a click or anything to indicate that the starter is getting any power.

Thought for a second and thought why didn't I try this to begin with before I had bloody knuckles?

Starters right under the top intercooler pipe at the back of the motor so an easy target for a small hammer. Tapped it a couple times and tried it out. Started right up, leaving to get a new starter now
