which includes a fine example of what can go wrong when you are rushing and get a brain cramp.
Last spring was getting my recently acquired '95 CS ready to turn over to my daughter. Didn't have much time to work on it and the weather each weekend was rainy. During a break in the rain I did the plugs, fuel filter, and finally the air filter. It was nearly dark and starting to rain when I did the air filter so I was hurrying.
Closed the hood, when in to dinner. Next day car won't start. Fuel pump hummed, was getting fuel, DI checked OK (my spare DI didn't help). Car would try to start but felt like it wasn't getting fuel.
Then it rained hard, I went inside, left on trip next day. Next weekend, between rains I kept trying to get it to work. Finally pulled the air filter...... which, hurrying in the dark and rain, I had put in upside down, so the engine was not getting any air. You need fuel, spark and air and I had 2 out of 3. (duh!)
I really hate those brain cramps. I usually double/triple check everything I do, but didn't that time.
