The Escort I've been working on for Kye & Sara is still not running! I worked on it again all day yesterday, replacing the fuel pump, the fuel strainer, ($90+), and the starter at $110! Yikes!
Both desperately needed changing. The fuel pump was completely crusted with rust and even inside the pump in spite of the strainer. Taking that out of the gas tank wasn't difficult, just a little stressful. And there's nearly a full tank of year-old gas in there, which might be contributing to the non-starting circumstance.
Anyway, its cranking, and firing, but only irregularly, like its not getting al the cylinders sparking or fuel's not getting to all the right places. Which means I'm out to the carport in a minute to remove the intake manifold and the injectors to see if I can do something there.
If its not fixed by mid-afternoon, I'm getting Jim's car tote and hauling it to a garage for somebody elses's attention. School starts tomorrow and I'm out of time.
