argg...

here's the catalogue of events so far...

last saturday - the black wire from the positive on the battery and goes right to the solenoid furred up and was non conductive.

this sunday - car died while i was out driving. after much worrying turned out to be the ignition coil.

today went to pick it up, and ermm.. it wouldnt start.. i saw them driving it too!.. this time its the starter. they were as shocked as me. we started it a few times by bumping it, but it wouldnt on its own. so they're fitting a new one tomorrow.


i'm guessing its been a cascade type thing when one weak part tires others..

three strikes, and the problem should be over.. (and out...)

ohh and they didn't clean the throttle body in the end

kept asking why i wanted it done.. and looked at me strange.


if anything out of all of this i've learned how to check the startup issues
