TTA #922 Restoration

So guys, I just picked up Turbo Trans am #922 . She was a driver and is not running. Trying to find the culprit at the moment. She will need paint and interior redone but the body is straight. Will post some pics later on today.

It was listed on CL for about a week, initially I thought it had sold. Guy still had it, rented a trailer took a four hour drive and picked her up. Too good of a deal to pass up lol

Dead battery or dead cells in the battery. If thats what it is get the alternator tested as well.

Good find! Congratz!

Thanks, and doesnt seem to be the apparent things, battery is good, alternator is good, starter is good, fusible links are good. Vats passes, a little puzzled right now

Starter enable relay? Try turning the motor by hand a little and try again.

I think it is part of the VATS system, may be under the drivers side dash? I am not completely positive on that.

I mean turn the engine over via the harmonic balancer bolt. Maybe the starter is having trouble grabbing the flywheel/flexplate.
