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?

The odd thing is all I did was pull the insulation back just a little on the power seat wires and twisted the blower wires to them. So how that interrupted the ground is beyond me. The other night in used proper connectors.

You know maybe the actual problem is the ground under the seat is loose and me messing with the wires made a connection again. That's probably more likely. I'll pull the carpet up and check that ground.
