I have narrowed the problem down to lack of power to the shutoff solenoid. Pulled the battery and battery box, wiring covers and traced the black and white wire back to the firewall. Checked continuity from the firewall back to solenoid and it's ok. Replaced the 109 relay and still no start. Connected a jumper from the battery to solenoid and it starts and stays running as long as the jumper is on there. I need some help. I live in Springfield, Mo and don't have any idea who to take it to. The dealer here is out as far as I am concerned. Anyone live in the area that could possibly help me out.

Thanks 1854sailor, I guess I didn't realize where I was when I posted it. How do I move this to the proper forum?

Note: Don't forget to check the ground wires, just as closely as the positive ones.
