Well, it's dead again...

It was a nice day out, so he took it for a quick drive in OB and it flamed out on him.  When he went to restart it, it backfired.  

Wonderful...

Call AAA, tow it, put it back in the car trailer, and it'll get dropped off again at the shop.

I really, really need this car to be running right when I take it back East.

Well, if it is...I've got 4 NIB OEM MAFs sitting on a shelf there.  But I just have a feeling it's going to be something major.  I hate not being there.  He's not having luck with vehicles this year.

His expedition was rear ended on the highway (he was at a standstill and the Camry hit him doing 65).  His brand new Volvo that the company gave him was just hit by a drunk driver (who also managed to take out 5 other cars parked along the side of the road as well).

Friends girlfriend was riding with us, she was sitting up front giving directions and looked at me and said "My Mom and my Father have only one child, it's me"

Well Jim, if that is the case,  Yep, she was telling you that you drive "LOCO".   :rofl;


LOL, 2 of they got together (didn't know each other) and started bitching about my driving while we were on the way to a shopping mall. So just to help out, I unbuckeled my seat belt and started getting out and said fine you drive...Oh left it in drive so it would roll... The look on their faces was great  :evil;

It was the crankshaft sensor that my father installed...a misaligned pin or something like that.  While it's in the shop, I'm having a few things that I've had sitting around installed (the complete set of RJC pulleys, the ATR Charcoal Canister Relocator, Mini-Starter, Casper's Improved Ground Modification Kit, and Engine Bay Mounted Brace Kit).
