Car fixin'

The given data was conflicting at various steps of the process. At one point, (I believed that) the starter was good, and every step of the ignition circuit was good....but no ability to turn over the engine when installed (no start/no crank). The problem was that the starter would still spin with no load (off the truck), but had no strength to turn under load.

Ahh. I was confused about that. Let's hope for success when reconnecting...

It's a done deal. I'm running, dude.

Since I've been messing with the truck, I figured I'd investigate other stuff going on - namely, it's developed a rough idle. A "miss," so to speak. I figured it was in need of a fresh set of plugs, etc. So, I went about checking the old ones. The ones I can access were pretty well shot. Badly, in fact. The others make me hope for the Nissan design engineers be doomed to a lifetime of working on their own engine. Three of the plugs are underneath the manifold and have to be changed blindly - or with the manifold removed. The plugwires have long, rigid extensions to reach through - but the holes they go through are too small to remove the plugs. The YouTube videos I've found make it look pretty arduous, but it has to be done...

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I love surly Kip. For such a mild mannered and all around caring soul, you still managed to get flustered by things. For some reason, that's ironically humorous to me

Keep it up, my friend. Keep it up.

Nice fix Kip. Glad to hear your troubleshooting worked and you got it fixed a lot cheaper than it could have been.
