'87 GL:  She won't crank.  Tried to start her the other day and got
one crank and I stopped.  Then I tried again and only "click."  I
tried the jumpstart bit, etc., but no dice.

I think I found what I believe to be the solenoid...to the left and
behind the AFM?  I see one of 2 male connectors use and that one
appears to be pretty loose (rusted? ...can't see).

I poked around in the Muir book and tried the trick of banging on it
with the hammer, but no difference.  My wife was there the whole time
with the other car running and the jumpers ready... still no start.

I also tried the stuck starter trick of 3rd gear and pushing her
backwards.

So...what's the easiest way to get at this beast?  Take out the AFM?
From below?  What's a new solenoid run?  I might as well replace it
since it looks pretty dingy.

Thanks,

-Karl
