I have insufficient voltage to the positive terminal of my ignition coil during cranking. I have replaced the starter relay and I believe the problem lies between the relay and the coil. I know there is a lot more testing that needs to be done to track down the real problem, but in the meantime I was thinking of trying a short term solution. Here's my question:
Can I safely hook up a wire to the "I" terminal on the starter relay and run it directly to the positive terminal on my ignition coil? Assuming there is sufficient voltage at the I terminal, I'm thinking this "work around" will supply sufficient voltage to the coil to allow the engine to fire. (It already runs fine IF I can get it to start.)
If it is safe to do this to get the engine started, is it then safe to leave this wire hooked up while the engine is running?
Obviously I don't want to fry something or burn the thing to the ground.
Please advise. Thanks!
