so i knew the guy that had this 94 mighty max, he rebuilt the engine then couldn't get it to start (cranked but would not ever fire up). He sold it to a guy that thought he could fix it and also had no luck. I then bought it from that guy and have been messing around and i replaced fuel pump, tried to start and it wouldnt start but i WOULD crank at this time. set distributor correctly, tried to get it to start and the starter wont even click when i turn the key to start. However while holding the key in the start position, the fuel pump will turn on, I can hear it humming away. so me and my buddy stood back and stared at each other confused. walked in the house came back out with a beer tried it again and VIOLA it started after cranking 5 or 6 times! let it run for a minute, drove it around the block, it died once during the drive but fired right back up at the stop sign. got it back in the garage, turned it off. waited a while, came back out and again, no click from the starter but again, fuel pump turns on and hums away. so today i replaced the starter solenoid and checked all the wires and nothing is messed up that i can see but again, fuel pump runs but no click or nothing from the starter. however all of a sudden, there is this incredibly loud buzzer noise that is not the door buzzer, the door buzzer is unplugged. the buzzer in question is the one closest to the firewall from the inside of the truck. it will keep buzzing whether the key is inserted or not UNLESS i push the clutch in?? the clutch is the only thing that stops the buzzer??? also all of a sudden if the key is in the ON position the fuel pump will always be running until i pull the key out?? only thing i have tried to far is replacing the ecu with a known good one from my buddies montero. PLEASE any advise you have is appreciated before i start tearing apart my running mighty max to swap known good parts!
