OK, this is serious -remember- boldylocks is a newbie- yeah I can run a PCR but my knowledge of the auto-mobile is relative to a jackass but you didnt hear that from me. Im calling AAA (and thats not for a substance related dependance) to have the car towed home and would really like to fix the thing myself. So here is the story, I just got back from taking the patent bar for no reason other than to satisfy some OLD PERSONS desire to have me have a 'shingle' over my shoulder -I'm a starving film maker-. The little red 914 managed to get me to LA from San Diego, but...
In the morning I turned the key, got a click, turned it again and the car started. NEXT, when I was in LA, again, I turned the key, click, and then on the second turn it started. Made it all the way home, stoped to get a little HEY I'M DONE WITH THE PATENT BAR 'juice' got back in the car, turned the KEY, click, click, no turn over of the engine, click, click.... Is this a quick fix??? Any suggestions for what to look for??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) starter....voltage regulator...starter..?...fuse....(already checked fuses)...pray to the gods? Is this something easy???? or Can I look at my mechanics house grow? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif) |
