I fried mine; hookers. Had the timing light ready but the friend I had helping me was too worried about topping off the power steering fluid instead of putting the timing light on it first. It was too late when he noticed that some of the tubes were glowing red. The timing was way retarded at the start. I guess I should have been the one maning the engine compartment while he worked the key and monitored the gauges.

With some of what was mentioned above, I'm sure it might be possible not to fry them though.



On my mopars, I use a starter switch attached to my starter relay and start the car under the hood. Or just use a screwdriver on the starter relay. I usually work by myself.
