This must be serious.
When I jump the solenoid I am getting voltage up the green ground wire from the stator.
Several times now I have found the clear plastic sheath melting where this green wire from the stator connects to the corresponding green ground on the harness.
The only thing I can think of that may have caused a screw up in the wiring from the stator is when I was setting the timing belt after replacing the valves and accidentally rotated the stator backwards when trying to set top dead center. Would this have damaged wiring? I caught my wrong rotation and went on to set TDC by rotating the correct direction. I set timing very well in the end but made this rotation mistake at first.
I would check what is happening in the wiring to from the stator but I am not yet sure how to get that bolt off (how to stop the stator from turning while I turn the bolt loose).
Any commentary would be greatly appreciated. Would this have screwed up the grounding to other circuitry including the connection from the start button to the solenoid?
