Since this site is so slow, thought I'd share what happened yesterday.
A few weeks ago the Lago car wouldn't start....no click,nothing. I
feared the signal wire at starter had come off, or I get the joy of
replacing the ignition switch. Then I remembered the Automatic
Transmission relay(neutral safety switch). I went to pull it and it was
loose(been driving around with cover off and think girlfriend musta
bumped it)....Pushed it in and fired right up....total time invested
about 2 minutes.
It had also been running a bit rougher over time and had been meaning to
get new caps/rotors, just hadn't done it. So went to pull first plug
and it was loose! Not only that but it was 4 prong Bosch with 4 rings
on it that I payed stupid money for MANY years ago/50K. Went and got a
set of Autolite 103's and proceeded to replace them one by one like I
always do, and all 8 were loose! I torque everything so either they all
worked loose, or I never torqued them when I did the timing belt 6?
years ago....Runs great....Total cost...$17. Tom
