<font color='black' size='2' face='arial'>Battery is<font size="2"> charged, cables are tight and contacts are clean. Is there a relay between the ignition and the starter? Reason being, it started after I replaced the distributor, I pulled it out from under the tree where I park and washed it. After washing it, it wouldn't start. That makes me wonder if one of the relays on the radiator support getting wet is causing the issue? (Unfortunately I don't have a schematic to decipher which relay goes to what!)</font>

<div>If it won't crank, it won't start. I would concentrate on the starting circuit first.</div>
<div>Fully charged battery?</div>
<div>Tight and clean cables?</div>
<div>You can temporarily bypass the neutral safety switch</div>
<div>Is there easy access to the starter where the cables attach? Try shorting the big hot cable to the thin solenoid cable at their terminals. You can use a homemade jumper switch or a screwdriver( it will make sparks)</div>
<div>Good luck, and let us know the outcome</div>

I've been battling a starting issue for a while. It began as off and on not starting (would eventually start). It stopped starting all together and when I checked the diagnostic codes, the cam position sensor code was being triggered. It's in the distributor, so got a reman'd one and it started 3 times and then stopped starting again. I was suspect of the park/neutral safety switch (speed sensor mini-gen on the transmission) and replaced that. No change. Today installed a new reman'd starter assembly, still nothing... When I turn the key it doesn't crank but I hear what sounds like a cycling buzz.
Anyone have any ideas as to my next step? Ignition? Fuel pump? Maybe a bad relay somewhere? (Anyone has a diagram or knowledge of what each relay along the radiator support is?) I've never been able to store anything in my truck, as it always has had a gasoline smell (which has me suspicious of the fuel pump/seal.) Since all the dash indicators funtion and I get the buzzing from the engine compartment, I thing the ignition is functioning fine?
