So, here is the latest of my problem... still not solved...
I have had the starter checked, it is good.
I have removed the battery from the Suburban and connected a good battery (from my daily driver) directly to the battery wires of the Suburban (with jumper cables): the starter barely spins a little bit, and the jumper cables get very hot at the clamps and smoke a bit, especially the ground cable! So, same problem...
I have also connected both jumper cables directly to the starter, the + to the big lug nut, the ground to the case: still the same!
When I have installed the TBI on this engine, I have not touched the starting circuit of the Suburban, and it started before!
One last thing: the starter keeps on turning (very slowly) even after I release the ignition key; same if I try to hot-wire the small terminal. Could this be of interest?
I find this all very frustrating, because if I put juice to the Suburban, the battery wires start smoking, and if I do not give it juice, I cannot search where the problem is!!!
Thanks!
