78 tbird won't start
Here's my issue.
New battery, new starter, new solenoid, and nothing when I turn the key.
Bypassing the solenoid turns the motor over but the starter won't disengage.
Could it be the electronic ignition?

So we can be sure of understanding exactly what you are trying to tell us.
Are you saying the engine Does turn over , but doesn't fire up and run or can't start running because the starter won't disengage from the flywheel?
Was your original problem that the vehicle would crank over , but would not start running? If so, the ign system could be involved.
Is this vehicle with a stick shift or automatic?
Or,,,, when you turned the key to the start position you got nothing, no click or anything?

one thing you need to do is find out if the solenoid has two little posts on the front or just one. Ford used two different solenoids during this time. and most of the time if the starter stayed engaged then all you would have to do is reverse the two little wires if it has two little posts on the solenoid. one thing that you didn't tell us is whether or not the engine runs or not with the starter still engaged

OK....replaced solenoid with an exact replacement......nothing....checked all the wiring to the ignition module and voltage regulator. Walked away and checked again 4 hours later and......turned the key!! Varoom!! Fired right up. Clueless...
