Kevin, I have an automatic so I can't tell you about the starter motor busing.

The Bosch WR-1 relay can help with some starting circuit problems. I have had mine for over two years and I haven't been stranded yet.

If the temp warning light is blinking several minutes after start up, you might have air in your cooling system and/or you are low on coolant.

Regards,

John Lauterbach Macon, GA '84 7-passenger
