95 club car DS random shutting off

[kaolinemine]

Im kinda new with club cars problems, Cart will crank sometimes an then no start (not firing at plug) I replaced the ignition switch because sometimes i would have no spin an caught it intermittly would not send fire to the solonoid, could wiggle key and gain fire back to solonoid. Also found where rat had chewed wire into going to what looks like a oil press switch. When it cranks its like nothing is wrong, what can cause me to have fire and then loose it? It may crank 4 times before you have a no crank (random) One other thing=the micro switch that has 2 white/black wires coming off of it---if it is not cranking i can touch that terminal with my test light and then it may crank up=like it is grounging through my test light.

Thanks Johnny Watkins

Here is a little picture which may (may Not) help.

Does it always turn over ? , but there is just no spark ?

[kaolinemine]

After the key and switch I no longer have the no spin problem , but It will still random have a no start (no fire at plugs) , Its like something will kill the fire . photo helps alot (since i have nothing of club cars.) Chalk plant i fix carts for only has ezgos.

Does it ever just stop running intermittently for no reason ?

[kaolinemine]

yes,cart will be running and just shut off. got it in shop now, no starting, no fire at spark plugs. with plug out spinning over, I touch the black and white wire on micro switch with test light, it will start firing the spark plug. if i take test light off micro switch it will stop firing again. ??? what ya think ?? any help greatly appreciated Thanks, Johnny

I think im on it now, I unplugged the rev/rpm limiter out of the coil/igniter curcit and it cranks now. before i did that it would not even fire. Cranks every time now. I ordered the rpm limiter today , Thanks Gleemo for the help

Hey U did it ,
I just sat here and kept U company (perhaps drank 1 or 2 ) and watched.

[kaolinemine]

Well , I got the rev limiter in today and installed and I still have a no fire condition//// I could still bypass the rev limiter and it would still crank. OK now the fix==the wire that goes back to what looks like an oil pressure switch that i fixed where a rat had chewed it into--well back up towards the front of motor where this wire passes through a wire bracket that holds the wire away from the clutch it had a raw spot in that bracket that was grounding the wire to block. Thought this may help someone else down the road.

[GLEEMO]

So is it fixed ?? after ibsulating the wire ?

[kaolinemine]

Yes gleemo, I got it fixed. That wire coming off of the rev limiter that plugs into the coil feed wire and then goes over to back side on passanger side of block to what looks like an oil switch . That wire was grounding out on the block right where it passes through a wire loom holder right above the drive clutch. That wire i guess is what kills the engine , because with it unplugged cart will not shut off no matter what you do (key, gas pedal, foward/rev switch)will not shut it down,. nothing like a good ol but whooping=but i learned a lot about club cars ignition system in the process.
