She lives!!!! Glad my opti wasn't a DOA scenario. Now just piecing it back together and should be all good to go! *knocks on wood*

Quick question, does anyone know the size of that little nut which helps retain the starter solenoid wire on? It keeps loosening up and the connection goes bad so I need to tighten it and don't know the size, as some of you know it's a PITA to reach.

 

Just take it off and head to your local hardware store to get another. Then you can wedge them together to keep them tight.
