Free Gas

[blck325is]

Stuck in Loma Linda with no tools and 1 bar of cellphone life with a car that is having fuel issues...again. Also with no people to call, seeing as how everyone is in LA or further. I also have a battery pack that is quite dead as well as a dead battery as a result of trying to get the car to start. So should someone take time to come help me out with their tools atleast and some expertise to get me going I will help you out with some gas, and a meal at in-out.. (Oh yeah havent eaten today either) Keep in mind I am a college student and don't have AAA, but will now invest as I have seen it is neccessary. Thanks.

ask people around for help and try to push start the car.

I tried to jump it with the battery pack until it went dead. It was cranking hard but nothing happened.

did ya check the fuel pump fuse/relay?

[blck325is]

Yup got a new one today. Still nothing. Got a ride from a friend to the car but he has now vanished.. which is code for "girlfriend called"

[george graves]

is the pump turning on when you switch to #2 ignition?

[blck325is]

I think it is. I have it hard wired so I turned the ignition on and when I tapped the wire to one of the live wires under the ignition I heard it click on. Not the best way to test it but without tools....

I'm sure you can push start the car.. get few people to push the car.

1. Turn off all accessories (radio, wipers, lamps).
2. Turn the key to the "on" position.
3. Depress the clutch pedal with your foot.
4. Put the transmission in first or second gear.
5. Release the hand brake and the foot brake.
6. Note that the people pushing need to get the car rolling as fast as they can. This works best down a hill or an incline.
7. Release the clutch pedal while giving the engine a little gas with the gas pedal once the car is moving about as fast as you can run. The engine should start.

- Gas in tank? (should "slosh" when you bounce the car.)
- think about whacking the fuel pump with a wrench - it might be bound up.
