Kurt, Robert, Bernard -

Thanks for info, I'll pass the emails on to him.   I am going to have to drive him both ways to work, 45 min., until we get his car running.   This is a mess.  

He said it is trying to turn over ... but I would think he would need a second person there to do some of the other checks mentioned.    I'll have him check everything that everyone wrote so far.

THANKS GUYS !!!!!!!!!!
