Gentlemen... Posted by PGAero [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: '93 Aero No-Start... Ari's Checklist..., PGAero ![]() |
Seriously, I'm grateful to you both for offering tips on troubleshooting my car's problem. Yesterday at the grocery store, I had a DI in my trunk, and no carb cleaner. Changing the DI was one thing I could do to see if my problem was spark. Since I didn't even think to look in the store for carb cleaner (there are no other stores around, it's a small local market), I was at the end of my options for the time being, and I walked to work.
After a few evening commitments and a trip to the autoparts store for carb cleaner, my brother and I towed the car out of the parking lot, coasted it down the 1/2 mile of hill, then towed it the 1/2 mile to my house. Rather than leave it in a parking lot, I wanted to get it home... especially since it was so easy.
Pulling a vacuum line off the intake and a quick squirt of carb cleaner later, it started, coughed, then died. So, this indicates to me that fuel was the missing component. All the fuses etc. checked out okay.
Oh, and I pulled a large raccoon out of the intake plenum. I don't know if that's related. ;o)
Again, thank you both for willingly offering advice. I appreciate it greatly.
