Well I had a coolant leak at the water bypass when I first got my SVT engine in. So I searched around and I found it and fixed it. It just so happens that that is above the starter and when I went back to start it nothing happend. Everything in the car works and the battery is fine. Then just randomly it started up later. The car has been doing this ever since. Then last night I went to do a compression test and the car stopped cranking over completely. Can a starter burn out if coolant has been leaking on it.
I picked up a DMM to test the voltage on the starter and according to Chiltons it has to be less then .5V for it to be a good starter so I will see today. Any suggestions are welcome I have been bugging Terry too much lately and I am sure he has his own problems to worry about. I also checked fuses and haven't found any bad ones.
