thanks anyways, but i fixed it a while ago. turns out the main lead from the battery to the solenoid was bad. Depending on how i would pull or twist it, the current would flow intermitantly. that's why sometimes i had power and sometimes not.

as a sidenote, they really designed the placement of the starter/solenoid poorly. i had to remove the starter to even be able to jump the solenoid to test it. what a pain in the a**

I replaced the whole lead and got rid of the fusible link wires while i was down there. replaced them with a regular fuse for easy replacement if ever need be.

Works great now.
