I had to put the 1K resistor before the regulator because if I did not, it would get hot and pop the regulator, then send too much to the chip and burn it up.  Found that out first hand. :(

If i hook the meter up to the output of the PNP with no load, it is coming out like it should at 12V, but when I hook up the motor to it, it does not turn the motor at all.  it is like there is not enough power to run it.  Do i have missing components or can I eliminate part of what I have and get it to work right?  I use radioshack because it is 5 miles down the road and i can pick up the parts that same day to test them to see if it works.  most companies will screw you on shipping so it is a little better for me to at least test it with radioshack parts first.
