Dumb luck and clean living finally pay off
Went home for lunch as normal today, had a nice bowl of homemade chili and
relaxed a bit.
Got back in the car to get back to work, turn the key, engine turns over and
wont fire.
Hmmmmm. I've had spark troubles in the past, so break out the timing light
hook it up and I've got spark, at least on #1. But I don't smell any fuel, so
I turn the switch on and lift the plate (whats the name?) and no whine no
fuel.
Make sure the fuse is seated, no help. Swap the relay no help.
So I take a closer look at the fuse..... the metal had cracked right were it
folds over the top of the ceramic.
Now how often do you have a problem while sitting in your garage? I'm thinking
of all the places this could have happened, in the middle of an intersection
in the pouring rain yesterday!
So I got very lucky, of course I didn't have a 25amp fuse, so put in a 16amp
and went to the closest Autozone. Bought an assortment pack that even
included the "rare" yellow 5amp. $2.99 invested today in the Porsche.
I hope my luck hasn't run out for the week.
