i spent 1.5 hours in the freakin parking lot but got it goin... i couldnt find this 25 amp fuse you guys spoke of, but saw a cobbled mess of electrical tape... lo and behold the previous mechanic, in his half-assedness took out the fuse and taped the 2 connectors together. it had obvious spark signs which would explain stumbling as she sputtered into the parking space of doom... But i put a new inline blade style fuse holder with a 25 amp fuse, and surprise, surprise.... Vrooooom!!! and my little brickster roared to life! A 4 dollar fix nonetheless... Eric at IPD was a big help diagnosing... i called him from the parking lot whjen i was stumped and he helped. thanks to all the guys who helped on the board, even though my first post was panicky :) Thanks again, this makes me proud to be a Brickster!
