The ignition terminal for the purple starter wire has 12 volts as soon as the key is placed into the "run" position...not just when the key is all the way forward into the spring loaded area (like you were trying to start the car). I adjusted the switch all the way forward and backward with no difference ....had 12 volts either way. So if I went to start the car for the first time I would suspect that the starter would keep spinning even after the motor fired.
2. I pulled the pink ignition wire so I could check voltage at various key positions: No voltage at any key position!
3. For giggles I placed the pink ignition wire into the purple wires slot to check the fuel pump. It kicked right on and I was able to flush the fuel line and bleed air...yippy...something worked  |
My 64 GTO custom tilt column had a turn signal and emergency flasher wire crossed inside the column. Took me hours to figure it out. Sounds like you might have something similar going on if I am following you correctly.
