Subject: Sluggish Starting

I found a great site, Popular Mechanic's website, that may lead to helping

me out with my starting woes.



In particular, the address is:



http://popularmechanics.com/popmech/auto2/9608AUSMP.html



This is a full-on section on just my problem. I'll be checking the negative

ground connection from the transaxle to the frame first. Then connections

along the positive circuit.



Any suggestions on where to look first?



Also, what's the best way to clean those tiny connections on the regulator

and starter solenoid? Remember that I'll be flat on my back and directly

underneath these parts so baking soda and water just won't cut it. Steel

didn't seem to help a lot. How do I get inside those female receptacle

connectors to get them clean? Do they have tiny wire brushed pipe cleaners?

Hmmmm....
