I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Try the main relay and I think there is a fuse for the starter you could also look at

definately check the main relay. those things go bad on EFs all the time and they can cause the exact symptoms you are having.

yeah i am able to push start it. had my battery checked and it had no cold crank amps* which are needed to turn it over. got a new battery, still no worky. as soon as i get some money ill slap a new starter in.
