Luis,
Did you replace the alternator, is the battery light coming on when you turn
the key on. If it doesn't then the 161 bulb may be out. If it is you won't
run.

Last year I was going to the Mid Atlantic Social when my car's
alternator decieded to go.  Got it in, along with a nes battery, and
she worked.

This year she had started acting up when I took her out for a spin a
month or so ago when we had a couple of nice days.  The lights
dimmed, she ran rough cold, or hot.  I thought it's probably a ground
issue.  Just before starting any work I gave her a short drive just
to check things out, and the voltmeter showed about 6 volts and ran
really bad - so I got to check ground from the battery to fram, to
motor mount, I even added a strap from the alternator to the motor
mount.

When I started the car, the voltmeter still showed 6 volts or so and
was running rough.  I though maybe it was the gas - it was a month or
so old, but when I was about to exit my driveway she died!

I made sure there was enough gas, it sounds like the fuel pump is
ticking away - the PO had changed it prior to my picking her up, and
it sounds like the FV is going also.  She cranks, but does not turn
over.


I'm going to check out the injectors to see if they spray, and at the
spark plugs.  Is ther anything else I could look into - other than
everything?  I'm somewhat frustrated I can't make it Saturday - and
am hopeful that something will work so that I could!

Thanks in advance
Luis & 3723
