Hmmm...guessing I never went further toward the engine because all I did was change the filter. Will crawl under donor today. Thanks JerryOn my 88, going from memory....
In order from back to front, on the driver side frame rail under the driver compartment: plastic fuel reservoir and filter (looks like small oil filter) then fuel pump then metal fuel filter.
Soooo...I have this thing going on in my head due to not knowing how cars actually work or supposed to workin my current situation. You can laugh<<I can take it.
Parting words to last shop to put a alternator on before taking in for tranny rebuild>>>"My battery/oil gauge needles have like a vibration movement to them. I noticed you ajusted the screw by the throttle cable after me telling you not to because car started and ran fine before any alternator was replaced. "His response was "runs, is there a problem?" I responded and let him know I would be back if there ever is and he really does not want to see me again.
Car ran for 20 minutes and dies after rebuild installation. Car cranks but will not restart.
Tranny guy finds blown EEC. #1. Can a tranny selinoid blow a ECC fuse? He changes fuse and still no start. Starts when he sprays fluid then dies. Starter and battery is strong, fuel to fuel rail, good spark.
EEC fuse is still good. The car is currently getting gas to fuel rail(40 PSI), gas is on spark plugs, tranny guy said spark was good.>>> I am thinking maybe after mobile mechanic had me try to start 50 times for fuel checks, battery may have worn down enough which led him to believe spark was not as good as it should be. Hence he diagnosing it as bad coil, distributor. New coil made no difference.
#2. Could the last shop messing with that screw to push idle up, have anything to do with a oxygen mix and the car not starting?
#3. How would a bad sparking at coil/distributor cause a car which is running fine for 20 minutes>>To just die and not start again?
Yeah, I had wine last night.
