You do need a switched live to the bat terminal, but not to the tach terminal. The tach terminal is the negative side of the coil, the bat terminal is the positive side of the coil. Normally the tach terminal is for the green wire from the tach.

I need a wiring diagram for a 1968 Camaro for the starter and coil.?

On the coil, the - or negative side goes to the distributor. The + or positive side goes to the ignition and is a resistor wire. That means it does not have 12 volts when the key is on. It should be approximately 9 volts. On the starter the positive cable goes to the large terminal and also any other large wires. That will feed the acessories.The purple wire goes to the inside terminal on the starter and it comes from the neutral safety switch. The last wire goes to the solenoid terminal marked R, that is the resistor side of the soleniod.

Where is the starter relay on 91' Ford Escort stationwagon?

It is on the starter itself and is called the starter solenoid. Heavy current is handled by the solenoid which is activated by the ignition switch. Current comes from the igniton switch, then to the s terminal on the starter which then connects heavy amperage to the starter motor itself.


Where does the purple wire from the starter go and what is its purpose?

The small purple wire on the "S" terminal of an older GM vehicle starter would lead to the ignition switch. With the key in the start (crank) position, the purple wire signals the starter solenoid to engage the starter.

Does a 1987 Chrysler 5th Ave have a factory installed anti-theft device?

Not sure, but had to run a wire from the battery to starter and hold it on a starter terminal to turn the starter after replacing it. I think it may be an ignition switch problem but haven't figured out how to get to it yet.


What do you do when your car will not start after you replace the distributor?

If the starter is still rotating the crankshaft upon turning the key in the ignition, AND there is a charge from the ignition coil to the distributor, the problem is most likely that 1. The distributor is improperly timed and/or calibrated for the engine in which it is placed, 2. The distributor is the incorrect type for the engine it is attached to, or 3. the mechanical linkages that spin the rotor are defective or incorrectly installed.


How do you hook up a remote starter switch?

If you can get to the starter, you hook up one side of the switch to the terminal that goes to the battery and the other side of the switch to the small terminal marked with and "S". "S" is for starter. The other small terminal you leave alone. Applying power to this terminal will damage the starter.
