Start/No Start/Start/No Start ... SHIT! 200 1982

posted by  someone claiming to be Charlane, Queen of the Damned Today on  Sun Dec 29 12:53 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Yes, yes, it is a 264 and when it runs, it's a beautiful thing. I had problems with it last month when the shop told me that the engine was dead. I told them to adjust the valves and put in treatment and lo and behold an air leak was found in the intake manifold. I drove away after rubber was replaced.

Damn thing quit on me later and I traced it. Found out that the engine was not grounded to the chassis which was a simple fix. OK, that was Friday. I was driving to my mom's to take her car back and stopped to get some tail light bulbs. Came back out to start her up and nothing, not even the solenoid clicking which was what was happening before the trace. Waited ten minutes and VROOM! away I went. I drove for another two hours with three stops and it cranked every time. It seems like its OK now.

I was thinking back and remember jacking with the stereo which sounded like it had a short. Could this be related? I haven't replaced the stereo in this car yet.

Thanks in advance,
Charlane
