This morning, my wife's Explorer wouldn't start.....Luckily, the 914 is a third car, so I gave her the keys to the Honda, switched the baby seats and hopped into the 914 for a short jaunt to work. The car ran like S*%@. It was running rough and had no power (even less than normal). To make matters worse, it limped all the way to work, so now I have to work. Maybe I can leave early to adress some "car issues."

I had to remove the rain tray because the battery cut off knob was hitting the bottom of the tray and not allowing the lid to close. Anyway, I went out for lunch and the car would not start - no power to the fuel pump. I also found the source of this mornings frustration - fuel injector electrical connection had come off (no boots to hold in place).
After I had reconnected the FI, the pump worked again. Why? It might be unrelated since I was poking around in the engine compartment for a few minutes, tapping on this and that and checking electrical connections and fuses. Thanks for the concern and advice (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) Now all is good. |
