Could be anything. If it doesn't do absolutely anything it's not the opti. Quit making it look bad. I have a vid that I'll upload of my friend washing his motor with a hose and scrubbing it down with digreaser and soap and hoses it all off. And fires right up. The opti isn't the problem, it's the owner

So you're going to tell me they are as accurate right? They don't tell you ****. Some are designed to light up at like 3volts, when in fact you are looking for something that requires 9volts (for arguement's sake). Please, tell me how they are useful mister engine builder? Work smarter, not harder. Use the right tools. A volt/multimeter will give you the exact voltage reading of what you are testing

YOU CAN USE A TESTLIGHT JUST TO SEE IF YOU HAVE VOLTAGE. agreed its not very accurate at all, but it tells you whether you have voltage or not. lol. if you dont see the lightbulb illuminate then obviously you have a problem. and not everyone can afford a multimeter. or understand the concept of how to use a multimeter.

true true true. but if it doesnt illuminate then there is a problem with the supply. we could go all day. but the testlight is a very cheap thing that can tell you whether your getting volts or not. thats about it. agreed a multimeter is your better pick.

Damn!!This was getting pretty good.Got to say I threw away my test lights after I got a multitester.Anyway I found that my security light was staying on so it was a vats problem(sweetbmxrider you my friend are the winner).I have had this happen in the past and I squirt a little wd-40 into the key switch and it cranks up.I just cant figure out why the security light keeps coming on every now and then.I dont know much about the "vats"thing.Does the chip in the key have something to do with it?

yeah the chip may be worn out. some people will solder in a resistor to bypass it, there are different ohms of resistance needed for different cars though. i think shoebox has some stuff about it on his website.
the OP stated that "everything electrical" seemed to function properly so a test light would be ok for this situation IMO. even if a starter had 3 volts going to it, the solenoid would still click trying to engage the starter motor. sure its not the best way to do it, but its quick and easy.
