I'm having an issue with getting the goblin to crank. Fuel pump primes, throttle body moves with throttle - dash and everything comes on as normally with key on. When the key is moved to start, the dash/lights flicker and doesn't turn over. Leaving the key in and jumping the crank relay starts the car. The dash and everything else still works. No additional codes outside the typical evap. I tried switching the crank relay with another in the fuse box but still having the same issue. The last time I had a similar problem, it was a loose connection at the starter. I checked all my grounds and connection points, everything seems fine. Goblin has been sitting for a while but I go out and let it warm up every now and then, just started running into this issue. Looking for troubleshooting advice, I saw some other posts related to lan communication but the dash/power steering seems to be working as expected.
edit: starting to trace wires...85 on the relay should be the ground to the transmission...right? I checked with my multimeter to see if I get a ground signal at 85 to the engine mount area where the grounds are and got nothing. So..I'm assuming something is up with that ground? I may need to pull the fuse box and look at the wiring again. I will be surprised if that is an issue since this seems to just happened all of a sudden. The first time I had ground issues, I ran a bunch of extra thick wire grounds - one of them being the ground at the engine frame mount.
