"So what was wrong? What did you do?"
"I dunno!" Well to add insult to injury......
A few days before my ordeal, I stopped by my neighbors house, as I saw he had his car up on ramps, the front, had been that way for over a week.
I asked him what he was doing?
He said he was going to change the starter out, as it went bad.
I said, Oh really, you need to run it up on ramps to do that?
He said yes, to get his fat arse under it...
I said, hey, let me take a look.
I told him he could never reach it that way, he just needed to pull out all the plastic intake junk and he'd have a pretty good shot at it...
I asked him what made him think it was the starter.
He said, here, just listen, it ticks when I try to start it.
Ah, I said, and went to his battery.
I noticed the obvious corroded connections.
I took his pliers and just twisted them a little bit.
told him to now try the key....
it started right up!
However, I figgered my problem had to be much bigger than his
