So, I figured out why my car wasn't starting....so
rt of. I put a new cam sensor on and (like I expected) it didn't help. Well, I figured that it has been so long since I checked some things that I would go back and check everything all over again starting from square one. First, I looked good and hard at all of my grounds....the
y were fine like they were last time I checked. Then, I moved on to the fusebox that I'd already double- and triple-checked. When I pulled the number 23 (I think) fuse, a 15 amp that is for pump and injectors, it was fine just like last time I checked.......
but, as I went to put it back in, I thought "man, it's just got to be this fuse, maybe I should replace it even though it looks fine". I held the fuse right up against a light bulb and at a very exact angle I could see just a hairline fracture in it. So, I replaced the fuse and turned the key.....and she fired right up. Just to be certain that it wasn't a fluke, I killed it and restarted it. So, at that point, I was happier than a pig in shit. I wondered though, how could my fuel pump be running with this fuse being bad.....? Oh well, I didn't care- the car was starting and that was all that mattered. Now, I had promised my brother in law that I'd go over to his house and play Nascar '06 with him while drinking up all of his Drambuie, so I left. When I came back, I told the wife "I'm gonna go start the GN again just 'cause the sound is so beautiful to me right now". I turn the jkey and it just cranks and cranks. When I look up, I see that I've got no fuel pressure.....? "WTF!?"
I yell. So, I figure maybe I blew that fuse again and this time it's killing the pump as well as the injectors. Nope, fuse is fine this time....even by the up-to-a-light test. So now I have to wonder if the relay on my hotwire kit shat the bed....? After 2.5 years of this, I really can't help but start to believe that some unseen force is just playing games with me.
