dumb move of the day....(car related anyway). troubleshooting a "tapping" noise issue. so, bought a compression tester gauge. The fancy one with braided hose. cylinders 1,2,3 went fine. on IV.....the hose was flapping around as I was threading it into the head and....BAM. opposite end tapped the battery + terminal and a had a spark at the head tin cover.
Then...it started to rain. so I covered the car and will go look tomorrow. so....did I smoke a relay? quick check, I pulled the coil wire off- pulled the boot back...long pliers and held it near the distributor cap center terminal, and have spark. (the coil was disconnected during the compression testing. ). When I turn ignition on, I can hear the fuel pump. (2nd dumb move of the day, don't pull the car out of the garage to work on it when thunderhead is rolling in....might not get it back in the garage). Thanks, best forum on the www. QM |

QMoore, as mentioned, you most likely did little more than give your battery a discharge test, albeit unintended...
If you are in FRG, just 'up the road' (14) from me a bit. I'm in Rolling Meadows. Working on getting brakes & master cylinder back together on mine soon so I can get it out while the weather is still nice. |

(Lived in Arlington Heights for 6yrs before coming here.) Do you know of a reputable 914 mechanic in the area? Mechanic, not for the starting issue that I brought upon myself. But for the tapping noise. Yes our days are numbered, weather. Hope you get yours back together and on the road. Thx, QM |
