[DMCForum] Re: very frustrated!! - starting problem

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings from Ft. McHenry.

It's not a dumb question. Remove the air cleaner and press down the 
air flow sensor, spray in a little starter fluid. DONT go nuts with 
it. You could flood the engine or worse, have a wicked back-fire.

Just a "one thousand and one" squirt. Start the car immediately 
before it all evaporates.

Tell me again: Did you hear or feel fuel pump activity with the good 
jumper in between 30 and 87?? Did you measure 12 volts at the fuel 
pump wires when the jumper was in place??

Don't bother starting the car with the relay in place. We already 
know it doesn't work.

If you have 12 volts on the fuel pump with the jumper and you hear it 
buzz, with the jumper, it's worth a test start.
