Hi All, Looking for suggestions/next steps. Pearl has been running like a top for 10K miles this summer, until last Tuesday... Fired right up as usual, but when I put her in gear (automatic transmission), she stalled and has not started since. Managed to flood her and drain the battery in the process, but after letting her sit, and charging the battery, and trying to boost her over the last few days, she still has me stumped. Have pulled, cleaned and gapped the plugs and checked for spark (looked surprisingly good). Also put in a new fuel filter since I had one, and tested the injectors and got the textbook cone spray. As she was running fine up to that point with no signs of anything failing, so I am not sure what to check next. As I have a couple times in the past, I throw it out to the collective knowledge of the group to see what your thoughts are. At home with no trips planned, so certainly not an emergency. I normally put her in storage well before the first snowfall, and would like to solve this latest puzzle before doing that. Thanks in advance for your help, Mark (I sent this two days ago, then realized that it wasn't going through to list members when I received no response. Thanks to Jim for getting that sorted out.) |
