Hello To all !
I heard thru a mechanic at a car show about this site, I have read thru alot of the threads and find it very interesting and see all the love for the MRK VIII.
Anyways I have a small somewhat small problem with the Mrk that I bought for my daughter about 2 weeks ago.
It's a 1993 blk/blk with 160,359 miles on it. Although the high mileage the car ran great and belongs in a showroom...one owner.
Daughter drove to school like any other normal day. Came out 4 hours later only to find that it will not start. Cranks over strong..
Had the car towed back to the house and has been sitting for 3 days now.
At first i thought that maybe she had a frozen gas line so i put in a bottle of gas antifreeze. the car has a little over half a tank of gas in it.
the temp here in MA is in the teens. but it was also in the teens the week before and didn't have a problem.
A neighbor mentioned the fuel pump. But there was no indication of it going bad, as far as the typical hum that i assume you would here before it goes.
I not a mechanic by all means. But i pressed the valve on the fuel rail to see if gas would squirt out because, I figured that if the car is fuel injected, there would be pressure in the rail. well it didn't gas only dribbled out.
What else would there be that I can check before having it towed to a mechanic, I need my truck back for work, that's she's driving to go back and forth to school.
sorry for the long post, just trying to get a get description of the problem..
Thanks in advance to member that could find me a solution and the keys back to my truck ..
