    alright cool, now, I just bought the multimeter, One more idea, Could it be that the ignition switch is dying and doesn't supply enough juice? How do I bypass the ignition switch, if the car has no solenoid? or maybe I dont see it :Do No:

    You do realize that the ignition switch is not in the column right? Its bolted to the base of the column down by the brake pedal

    Alright Guys, I switched the Sector Gear in the column, I also replaced the signal cam, and I replaced the Ignition Switch, I then crawled under the car and there was a cable barely connected to the started, I bolted back on on still nothing, Went and bought a coil and that did the trick!!!!!


    I had attempted to switch the coil before and I did with no luck, That means that the ignition switch, and the disconnected wire from the started along with a bad coil was the culprit!!! The weird thing is I tested the coil as soon as this happened, so that is why I crossed it off, I even used the old one and yup, its dead, Well this ordeal is over with, I guess I learned a lot about the lark, I can rebuild the steering column by myself haha..


    Well on to the next problem.....an oil leak:puzzled: :blast: :mad:

    Its a lot of oil, and I suspect it is the rear of the pan but also might be the seal because I had to pour in a quart since it lost it while I was out of the country, my driveway was ruined
