Sup guys,

Recently, my 240 blew the radiator. I found out it was leaking and had to replace it. After I replaced it, everything is ok. Then I went test drive the car and filled up gas and added some STP injector cleaner. Drove home and my car started to idle really weird so I went and fooled around with the harness. Every time I wiggle the coolant sensor and the injector near it, the car would stumble and wanna die out. I fooled around with it for awhile and the car shut off. I tried to start the car again but it wouldn't start. Each time I try to start it, it just makes one "tick" noise. It doesn't crank or turn over either. Any ideas that can help a fellow 240 owner out? Thanks guys, Alex.

check to make sure that you didn't knock off the ground for the starter. Get out a flashlight and check to see if there have been any connections knocked loose. In addition check all your grounds.

Sounds like it's time to just start poking your head around the engine bay to see if anything is out of place.

The starter is located on the tranny. You can't really see it you have to feel for it. Reach down where the oil filter is and go back. If you have access to get the car in the air it will be located (standing on the side of the tranny looking towards the front of the engine) on the right side and up a ways.

Here's a better way to describe it. starting at the bottom of the tranny count up about six bolts on the bell housing and the starter will be held on by the (I belive) 7th and 8th bolts. On the engine side
