MID9 first problem post....Working on it now
Figured I would be the first to post a MID9 problem.
My car had been acting weird starting wise a few months ago. You could start it and drive it, but restarts were always an issue. We moved I stored the car and only last week got it back. So I've been driving every day since I had it back. In fact I have driven it everyday except Sat. when it got a wash and a wax. It had been starting fine untill last night, here's what happened.
Yesterday this is the killer. I drove it to work about 15-20 mins, drove it home at lunch then a quick stop at the bank, I mean in to sign a piece of paper and back out, started fine. After work I drove to the gym, worked out about an hour and 1/2 and drove home still started fine. I got home, and let it idle while I checked the oil. Oil level is good, slight decrease in idle when I took the oil cap off.
Now here's where it gets weird. I turned the car off, cleaned the wheels, cause I was finally gonna take some new photos for the MID9 crew,and I was going to check my timing. So I got out my timing light. I hooked up the timing light cables, turned the car on and checked the timing which was good. So I turned the car back off, unhooked the cables and was going to move the car and take some pictures.....dirty booger won't crank. Won't even try to crank. When you turn the key you here the fuel pump working, but no starter no nothing. I lost it, it was all I could do from kicking the ever lovin crap at of her. So I walked away, came back, checked all my fuses, I did not check the grounds, I don't know what I was thinking, I tried to jump start if off my Jeep, no go same thing, fuel pump, no crankie. So I gave up. I recruited my better half, (who I love for helping me) and we pushed the car into the garage where she now sits. I went inside had a shower and a beer and didn't even think about the car untill this morning.
So what do I do now????
