Relay fix:

Just to let everyone know, you can put the relay behind the dash, instead of
way back at the starter.  I didn't want to put it back there because of
water / salt /  corrosion issues.  It requires a bit of rewiring though.  If
there is any clamour from the list, I could give detailed instructions.

Subject: Starter doesn't work on long trips

Hello,

I have been experience an intermittent problem with my starter.  It seems
that it works perfectly when scooting around town, however it occasionally
doesn't turn over after we've been driving a long time.

It seems that everything is good at the front of the car because the fuel
pump turns on, however the starter doesn't turn over.  Also I learned that
if I hit the starter with a rock it will then go and start-up.

Can someone please advise how to remedy this problem?

Thank you,
Shawn.
