Took out the pin and spring and it's idling perfectly. Thank you guys SO much for your help, especially you datzenmike. You're an amazing resource. There are some NOS solenoids on ebay. I guess I'll get one!

I have to wait. Fucked up one the spark plug wires. Waiting on a new harness...dammit

Okay. I'll try that in the morning. Thank you!

Engine still won't idle. How do you I go about rebuilding or replacing the solenoid?

I also checked to see if the ground wire from the harness plug to the manifold was there and in tact and it was.

So I replaced the fuse and tested the wires going to the choke and to the idle cut solenoid. Both seemed to have power. I'm using a commercial electric voltage detector. What shoulfd I do now? Thank you so much for the help.

It appears as though the wires are going the right place. The red to the solenoid and the blue to the choke.

Sorry, I don't follow. Can you elaborate?

Also, the truck idled for about a minute this morning and then eventually died. Then it went back to not idling at all.

I havent had time to get to the store to buy a fuse and test lamp, but I just wanted to make sure I'm looking at the right thing. It's the red wire coming off the back that is connected to the off white/yellowish wire that goes to the carb....correct? It looks to be pretty shredded, as you can see. Also, the throttle valve switch wire (if I'm not mistaken) is clipped...as you can see.

Yes, we did that first. I imagine that this is a pretty distinguishable click, as I heard nothing. Also, water does leak into the truck occasionaly around the fuse box. I need to remedy that.

Also, I can hear the fuel relay clicking over when I turn the key and then the fuel pump start to run.

I wiggled all of the wires around with the key turned and didn't hear any clicks. Thank you for the help.

I guess I could move this to the technical section
