thanks bro, great reply. How about the fuel relay? Where is that? maybe its that fuse ( i hope ) The car seems to have juice to turn over. Is there an easy way to test to see if its getting fuel? In case the switch is good. BTW I am taking a bus back & forth from my job ( internet ) to my car.... fun sunday huh??
