give me more to work on... be more specific... description...
main lead from the harness looks to be okay... but it could be alittle loose. It might have loosen up when we changed harnesses. [Edit: just went to check on it... and it is very much tight!!!!]

I have noticed that when the key is turned to the second position... as in on "run", the aux fan cuts on and runs until the car is started. Does this have to do with the car having touble to start? I can grind on the starter (as in holding it down for an extended period amount of time) until it starts... if i am lucky. The smell of gas at start up from the exhaust system is very strong. Some times I can get her to start by holding down on the gas or by pumping it.
