Default 1993 90CS Won't Start

Does anyone have a diagram and voltage requirements from the ignition to the starter? What pins and terminals are used on the ignition, relay block and starter to check voltage. Battery is registering 12.76 volts. Ignition switch was just replaced. When I turn the key to first detent all dummy lights come on and fuel pumps activate, when I turn to second detent I don't hear the starter turn over. If anyone has pictures that they could aid in the process, they would be greatly, I mean greatly appreciated. I love this car and need to drive it.

Did you try starting it in both neutral and park?

When you try to turn it over does it struggle to turn over / click or simply nothing at all?

Find this on the back of your driver's side head and wiggle or disconnect/reconnect. If you're lucky that may work. If not it may need to be replaced.

Default Don't sorry about that - lol

I'd say the next step would be to see if you have power at the starter solenoid with the key in the "start" position.

You should re-read the post: this is a no crank situation. ;-)

What voltage should it read and at which point, I believe there are three on the starter? And by the way thanks for taking the time to help. Hopefully you don't get hassled at work like I do for reading forums.
