Heading that way shortly. Hopefully 300 miles doesn't break the car.

It broke the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) died on the side of the road after 40 miles.

Now that just sucks! Is it loosing fuel pressure? Does is just quit or does it get sluggish before it dies?

Yep. Losing fuel pressure like it's running out of gas. Then maybe a starter issue on top of that, so it won't turn over for a while. Managed to make it half way, where I was kinda planning to stop anyway. Food and a drink or two and a shower and we'll hopefully do the last 2 hours in the morning.

Well be safe, hopefully you can make it here safely. We can take a look and see what is going on when you get here.

That's what I told my wife. Better chance of figuring it out with a dozen or so 914 guys than in my garage with me.

I'm gonna limp my 914 over. Having some idle issues, but it needs to meet some other 914s now. I can't wait.

Went out and checked on the car. Not a sound from the starter. Looks like I'm gonna have to push it off again in the morning. Good times.

Electrical problem? Maybe ground lead from battery or ground strap to chassis? Not getting good connection even when cold, but lets enough power thru to run fuel pump. As current flows, bad connection heats up, higher resistance and finally fuel pump dies.

Checked the battery and the ground was loose, oddly enough. Tightened it a bit but still not a click from the starter. I'll mess with it some more in the morning when it's cooler out. It's been a long day!

Which way are you heading? Up 55 to 80?

Just got back home. My first time at Garold's, it was great meeting some of the names on this board. My 'girl' enjoyed the drive and had a chance to 'stretch her legs'. More motivation to get her out more.

Thanks for a great time Garold.
