This morning i fired her up and put heater on right away.
Went to Kiekos to get some copys made.Came out and she won't start.Turns over,then dies.I'm WTF,its never done this before.
Called my mechanic,he comes,trys this,and that.He thinks its my fuel pump.He calls a wrecker,to tow to his place.I wait 1 1/2,hours.
I try to start it,fires right up like nothings wrong.YEAAH! I call my guy back,to tell him to cancel wrecker. My mechanic wants to check
it out tomorow,to check fuel pressure,with some gizmo.
Any thoughts ,its running fine now ??
see ya,old retired guy
Any chance he tried to start and keep it running using starter fluid?
FWIW, I've had intermittent fuel system problems in years gone by ultimately proved to a flaky fuel pump relay in one instance and fuel pumps on two different occasions. The latter was more difficult to confirm before replacing the bad part. :(
