Hey all,
Well, it had to eventually happen, but my trusty GTV6 failed to start this morning. Normally I wouldn't be that upset, but the car is in a parking garage where I put it to keep it away from Hurricane Irene, and when I went to get the car today, it cranks, and initially seemed to start right up, but then died. Further cranking the car would sputter, but then kept dying. Now I crank it and it doesn't catch at all. So it seems to be related to fuel delivery, right? The car is stuck in the garage and it's costing me 40 clams a day as long as it's there. The car has been inside since saturday, and I'm pretty sure there is fuel in the tank unless someone siphoned it out. I'm not sure if it's the fuel pump that just gave up the ghost or what...I tried starting it with and without the cold injector pump plugged in, but it made no difference.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
