50 km drive home on the highway, keeping lots of distance, averaging 70 mph with traffic, cold and dark 6 degrees C, what's that 40's Fahrenheit?

Heat worked like a champ, I was warm all the way home.

Engine was strong (stock 1.8).

Tachometer was steady except when shifting she was a bit bouncy.

Nice, nice drive home.

Until I stalled her halfway up the driveway and she wouldn't re-start.

Lights on key turn, no starter.

Went to the mailbox. Brought the mail into the house. Went back to the car.

Elapsed time 7 minutes.

Started right up.

Nothing I haven't heard of before.

Cross your fingers for tomorrow morning on the way back to work.

In the meantime..... beer3.gif

I had that same start problem about 6 months ago... I think I deduced it to a broken plastic key/ignition switch and some wire on my starter relay setup was real loose. wacko.gif

For real. I've taken it out twice from the warehouse at work to do bank runs. It hurt everytime I got in my truck to drive home at the end of the day 'cuz I wanted to take her.

I have a friggin' mile wide grin on my face. biggrin.gif

She started up fine a minute ago to roll into the garage to sleep.

UPDATE:

Made it back to work!

Couple of stops on the way in including refueling and I had no problems.

It even snowed this morning. dry.gif

As soon as they send out the salt trucks she has to go to bed, but until then.....
