Boy, you nailed this one: "6. get is started with a jump if you can, now measure with a volt meter whether the alternator and VR is charging normally.......14.5 volts give or take ..you need not run it long to do this."

I would have ignored your advice. :-( Because all my charging issues over the years have been LOW voltage or failure to charge. No big deal (kind of)... self-evident (eventually)...

I am embarrassed that, in this episode, it took me so long to realize that this pig in a poke I bought (I now avoid eBay!) was overcharging... like 17+ volts!

I dunno if sitting did in the fuel pump ($150) or high volts. Or both.
Or little stuff like the dash illumination bulbs ($25 and a trip to the dealer, and lots of time diddling.
Or the windshield and tailgate washer pumps, dying. (More money, and another trip.)
Or...

Yes, I installed a voltage gauge and oil pressure gauge as soon as I could. Maybe "next time" (?) they go in FIRST! :-)
