Sorry guys my INTERNET was down all evening. Paul Proefrock called and talked me through it. It turns out that the starter solenoid wire runs through the neutral safety switch. In theory, if your car wasn't in neutral, then it wouldn't start. Well, I'm not running the neutral safety switch so the relay was never tripped and the continuity of the purple wire was compromised. You would think that would be mentioned in the manual!
Anyway, I cut the purple wire and bypassed the neutral safety relay. It works fine now. Thanks for the replies. Once again Club Cobra comes through!
