Thread: Car died 3 times today, Grr..

I assume redneck is the old...ratchet held still and starter cranked method? I had to do it once too. Went well, but the potential for personal injury is pretty high.

I'd see this as two potential issues.

One.. Fuel pump resistor is starting to go bad.
Two.. CKPS

Since it keeps starting up right after, I'd say it's likely the crank sensor. However w/o proper testing..or code reading (if you are actually lucky enough to get a code), it's a shot in the dark on either.

Agreed there is a high chance of ish goin wrong when implementing this method. Just be very aware when you do it. Any update yet, or get that code scanned?

Sorry no update just yet. The car is at home in my garage. I had to go 300 miles away from home to go fishing. Just left the harbor a few hours ago. We have 16k lbs of Sablefish (Black Cod) to fish out. 6+ lb fish sells at $9 per pound.
