Actually, for the first time yesterday the archives paid for their past
troules.  Returned 71 hits and all but the last half dozen were close enough
to my problem (intermittent no start, due to solenoid, starter, electrical
wire btwn the two, load reduction relay? or a host of other items) to merit
furter investigation.  I can't remem now where I read 'low E relay' because
there were so many posts I read last night.  Now I get to try each possible
source for the issue and see which one/s *seems* to remedy it.
