Engine Starting Problems

  1. Check all ESC harness connections, including 10-pin connector, 4-pin connector at distributor, 2-blade male connector to distributor, and 2-blade female connector to ignition switch lead (Pink wire). Repair as necessary.
  2. If all connections are OK, disconnect 4-pin connector at distributor. Install jumper wire between pins "A" and "C" of distributor connector. If engine will not start, check other causes of engine failing to start.
  3. If engine starts with jumper wire attached, remove jumper wire and reconnect 4-pin connector to distributor. With ignition switch "ON", connect voltmeter positive lead to pin "F" and negative lead to pin "K" on 10-pin connector.
  4. If under 11.6 volts, repair circuit between ignition switch and pin "F". If over 11.6 volts are read, check wires in ESC harness from pins "G", "H", "J" and "K" of 10-pin connector for opens or shorts. If harness is okay, replace ESC controller.
