![]() This one really takes me surprise because my car has always fired right up.
Drove to work this morning and everything was normal. Got in to go to lunch and it won't start at all. As soon as you hit the key it "catches" and then dies. It's like it fires on a few cyclinders and then it just dies. When I give it part throttle it revs a little higher before it dies. I thought maybe somebody had messed with my car but I can't find anything wrong. The only thing that happened since I parked this morning was a light rain. I have the two openings in the ram air hood but I can't see any water in the engine compartment or around the distributor. Since I did all my engine work this spring I've had it in rain before. Fuel pump is priming the system just like usual. I flipped the reset button on the fuel shutoff switch and it did the same thing for the first few tries and then the starter just cranks away - just like it is supposed to when the fuel pressure is bled off. Hit the switch reset button and it's back to the same thing. Fuel pressure gauge reads about 25 psi with the key off. I think it has plenty of pressure. Checked all the wires under the hood (and under the solanoid cover but everything seems good. All fuses are good. Sound familiar to anyone. Any QUICK advice would be great cause I gotta get home somehow tonight. All my tools are at home but there are some people that have some here. Thanks, Dan
