IML: 64 Imp wiring problem

["JAY D'ANGELO" <cadij@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is a new problem I hope someone can help me with.  Usually, this occurs 
when I try to start the car for the first time.  I turn on the key, the 
radio plays, but there is no engagement of the starter - like the battery is 
dead.

I pulled the wire loom connector from the firewall and found the connections 
dirty and corroded.  I cleaned them up, exposing clean metal and plugged it 
back in and it started.

The next day it wouldn't start again unless I "jiggiled" the wires.  
Thinking the connectors strill were not making contact, I made new wire 
connectors about 3 inches long and plugged them in, then tried again.  The 
car started.

The next day, it wouldn't unless I moved the wires around.  Once it's 
running for the day, it will restart.

I'm thinking two things:  One of the 3 ignition wires to the connector has a 
short or something, or the neutral safety switch is shot.  A new one is on 
the way.

What do you think, guys?

Jay
