So I am still having difficulties with my '96 Yukon. I won't go into all the details (here is the thread detailing what problems I had and how I got it started. http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=55783) I finally got it running only to have it later fail to start. When I went to restart I just got the spinning sound from the starter and no flywheel engaging. Thinking it was the starter or solenoid failing. I took it off and had it bench tested at two parts places and it passed both times. I saw the starter throw pinion out and spin the bendix. I reinstalled the starter but I still go no bendix/flywheel contact. I can hear the pinion getting pushed out and the bendix spinning when attempting to start.
I have a good battery and I replaced the positive cable and then checked for voltage drop with my multimeter. Everything was fine with no drop. Flywheel is fine, no missing teeth.
Could a problem with the ignition coil prevent the pinion from coming all the way out to engage? Or the starter relay? I checked the starter relay with my multimeter and it read a resistance of .07 when multimeter set at 20k. I didn't power the relay to listen for the "click" though.
I appreciate any input or suggestions anyone may have. Getting desperate.
Thanks
