Computer codes? 1111--Ned's comments

[mike]

he originally said he was getting the loud click which
implies the starter circuit is working

one thought....imagine a really bad battery or really
bad connection to battery, try to start it, voltage
goes down so just the click, would the ecu throw a
1111 from that?
