[s-cars] Quoth Bones, "He's Alive Again, Jim!!!"

[Douglas Landaeta]

Glad you're up and running again! To those following - note the *right*
approach IMHO:

1. - Don't screw around out there - flat bed it home (even the $300 is less
than the damage that could have been caused by not having physical control
of your own car - i.e. in someone else's shop)

2. - Ask the LIST - wisdom is there, but you must also...

3. - Document the situation and how you got there well. Each nuance of
sound, every note of elevation, speed, recent mods, what your lovely
passenger is wearing, jogs the memory of der-list. Seems that there are many
BTDTs if we could *only* remember.

4. - Let common sense (and calm emotions) drive your efforts... Bob aptly
noted:

than

5. - Be at peace with your machine and apologize profusely to The Wife (tm),
noting that it is far less expensive to repair your UrS than it would be to
replace it with (just about) anything else.

With each new incantation learned, a greater depth of faith will ensue.

BTW, Bob - if it didn't go down this way - my apologies, but I felt I got
something from your experience and maybe I'm not alone. ;->

Thanks for all the help, Y'all.  The problem was indeed a dead fuel
pump.  New pump installed after much aggravation until the locking clips
were found.  Easy once the incantation is known. The car is now running
again!

I love it when a plan comes together.  :-)
