After reading a little more I think there are two people with motor cranks no start. The only time I've had this issue was when the unloader relay was not working. The unloader relay powers only items needed to start the car. When you crank your car over the radio, lights and other items that are not needed to start the car will not get any power so there is more power to crank over the motor. Also my unloader is located in the DME compartment clipped right to the DME...
