Hi
I just removed the engine mounts on my 86 CJ7 and while doing so disconnected the chassis ground strap on the drives side engine mount. I replaced the two mounts very easily by the way and reconnected the ground strap. I was told to leave the mounts a little loose and let the jeep idle for awhile to settle them and then torque the nuts to spec. After everything was back together the jeep started right up and I pulled her out into the driveway to idle for a few minutes. While walking back into the garage the engine just dies. No sputter, coughing or anything. I tried to restart and now all I have is a clicking noise coming from what sounds like the solenoid. Have I fried a solenoid with a loose ground strap? I cleaned the top half on the connection and tightened the top all up. I will clean the bottom strap connection tonight. Am I on the right track here. Could a loose chassis ground cause all this grief??
Thanks for your replys,
Todd
