So yesterday when I started the car, it cranked but didn't fire. It did start on the 2nd try. Odd, I thought. So then on m way home, I was steady at 35 mph when, for about a second, the fire went out. I had nothing. Then it came back and all was well. So I was thinking that maybe the opti was having a bad day.

Fast forward to today and the car wouldn't start. Cranked, but wouldn't fire....didn't even try. I noticed I couldn't hear the fuel pump priming. I banged on the tank with a rubber dead blow and tried again. This time I heard the fuel pump prime and the car fired, but then quit. That was the last time I could get it to fire. I also noticed the fuel gauge is pegged full.

Soooo, time to cut an access above the tank?

So the other day I'm running her ear off about my new Camaro. She then says, "Steve, do you realize we now have two Camaro's in the garage and neither one runs? How redneck are we?" Haha, so true. So I jumped in my old Camaro and turned the key, you know, just in case it happen to fix itself. It cranked, no fire. So one thing I noticed is my helmet blower wasn't working. I tapped that fan's power supply into the power seat wires. My electric drivers seat wasn't working either. So I pulled the driver seat and sure enough, my twist and tape wire job was coming apart. I now remember I ran out of proper connectors and so I just did a temporary splice. So I fixed the wiring. The seat works, my blower works and the car started. I still have no idea what the hell that has to do with the fuel pump, nor do I care (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
