the wand could be fried too i had that happen to me a couple times other then that I'm not sure

Check the wand to harness connector. Also make sure the battery is making good connection to the wand. The crappy female bullet connectors in the Tamiya style plugs can spread over time causing loss of connection.

I hate when the female connection gets loose..... Lol.lol..

Check your engine to see if it is cranking over there is a chance your engine is stuck on TDC is your flywheel spinning OK also check your entire EZ-start system over Recharge your battery for the wand. Make shure your Glow Plugs are fresh & good working order

if you had to replace the starter motor then you had to pull the motor off the truck .
a very common mistake is to forget to hook up the yellow ground wire to the motor mount

My tmaxx will start without the yellow wire hooked up.

 

[Snook Man]

My tmaxx will start without the yellow wire hooked up.

Not if you’re using the ez start wand and the engine is not grounded through the wiring harness by some means.

 

[tmaxxfreek]

well i am using the easy start wand, and it starts without it

You are getting a ground somewhere then???? could be yellow wire is pinched somewhere. Gotta have a ground.

 

[tmaxxfreek]

The only 2 wires that are hooked up is the two on the ez start motor

Thats why your's will start without the yellow wire, if he is using the ez-start to light the plug, he need the yellow wire to be grounded.
