Hey fellas,
can someone real quick post up which terminal to test-jump off the +-battery to see if the FSOV "clicks/opens/closes".

This is the second time (in quite some time) I went to start my truck and it just cranked...on/offed the key and then it lit up.

Could be a simple bad connection at one of those top two terminals...but which one I don't recall.
Thanks

Thanks fellas...
I jumped it a few times and it "clicked" each time.
Maybe a fuel shut-off glitch or, maybe even the GP's didn't go on...who knows???

The easy way to know what terminal is what is the large connecter is always the fss solenoid. No way can we mix them up but a member once did because someone had cut off the ends..cookoo Crazy as that sounds the member could start the engine but.. When the engine reached 120 degrees coolant the engine would die out. It took plenty of help to figure out what was wrong but this forum was helpful in the end after we found out the wires had been clipped. then it was an easy fix.

Broseph: you may simply have corrosion. Go ask your old lady to use one of her brillo or scotchbrite pads and clean up the terminal to shiny metal new clean.


Dont break them, or I will be the first to call you an idiot

OR...
The ignition switch itself could be getting screwy.
OR...
Could be the engine harness connector.

Cleaned-up the terminal...hopefully that was it.
BTW, all new ZD9's installed last week.
