Man that is tragic. I would have to guess that it is a fuel problem, just because you filled up 10 mles earlier. That is enough time to mix and enter the engine.My vote is a plugged filter,but wow, was that quick and complete. The obvious clue that is the. fuel that may have dripped through the the plugged filter and ran the engine till it was used up(2 seconds).Any pump noise? Will your pump run at first when you turn the key? I think you can hear this from the drivers seat. I would chanage the filter firstand see if anygas will drrain out of thetank in the process.Then put vice grips (with a cloth for protection),on the rubber hose at the point where the fuel return line leaves the fuel pressure regulator.If it is a fuel problem, should run if your pump is ok.If it dont run now, you probably got a electrical problem. Sounds like a componant failure in the primary ignition as opposed to loose or corroded wire.One other possiability is those componants that you recently replaced. Recheck each connection to see if you failed to reattach the wires correctly.Disconect and reattach all those connections to make sure , before you spend any money.Maybe you hit a bumpin the road as you left the gas station and the conection severed.Let us know. |
