thanks, Sharpe, i'll give it a try! not going to drive far, just around a lot!
it does start up after about 20-30 minutes. And went again for about a mile or two then died.
It did it at the carshow in September. I parked the car in a slot, and decided i wanted to 'clean up' my parking. So just a minute or two after i shut it off, i tried to start it back up and it wouldn't start. Does the engine turnover but never fires up. Decided not to repark
and didn't give it another thought. At the end of the show it started right up and i drove many miles back home. No problems. It was two weeks later i drove it up to my kids school to get my daughter, and it is about 5 miles away. Maybe not that far. Anyway, that's when it died, going into the Sonic parking lot. It rolled back out the drive, and I pushed it to the curb. It sat there about 30 minutes or so, and it started right up. Drove about one mile, and it died, just driving down a road, lost power, and i pulled into a convenience store parking lot. Rolled it into the parking lot! Sat about 30 more minutes, started up, and drove it about 1 1/2 miles, and it died again! Just immediately loses power, like you've turned off the key. That was the last time and we just pushed it to that parking lot. trailered it to the shop. yada yada....
Coming home from the shop is about 10-15 miles, and it did fine til AFTER I had stopped for lunch with hubby. After lunch got in to drive home and that's when it died at the intersection. ugh.
None of those days were particularly hot in temp. But are you meaning the car or car part gets hot??
Actually, now that i'm thinking of it, i filled up with a half tank of gas AFTER i left the shop the first time. Left the shop, filled up. Died later.
I have to say, when it dies and you try to start it, it just sounds and smells like it's flooded. I just don't know! Would it smell like gas if it was the ign. module??
Anway the new ign. module is in, and we'll see!
i'll keep ya'll posted.
how in the world would i take out the gas and put in new??
I hate being dumb at this!
I don't know how to drain it, or what to put it in.
