Hey all, Bob aka hotdgr, is driving a car he purchased in Monterey CA to his home in Tampa FL. He stayed with us last night and headed east from Phoenix this morning.
I just got off the phone with him, and he broke down out side Benson Arizona. Here is his problem. Stock 1.7L with D-jet. Turns the key and no fuel pump sound and the starter does not crank. Bob is a FAA licensed airplane mechanic and says that he went through all the connections, checked the fuses, checked and replace some relays. Right now he is stumped. I told him I would post here and ask for input, or you can call his cell phone directly and talk with him at: 813-610-0056. Bob is a real nice guy, lets do what we can to help him get back on the road. New Mexico, Texas teeners, and points east, keep up with his travels and hook up with him for eats or offer any assistance he may need. |
