What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?
Drove it to the Steak & Shake cruise-in... for once it wasn't in the 90's with matching humidity. But it died at a stoplight a couple blocks away. It finally caught and I was able to drive it to the parking lot before it quit again. Figured I was out of gas so I borrowed an empty can, walked to nearby station, and put a couple gallons in it. Then it was flooded (hot engine, hot weather and cheap gasoline). Finally got it going, idled for a while, shut it off and checked out the hot rods.
On the way home I filled the cell (only took 6 gals after the 2, and it's a 10 gal capacity). It felt like it was laying over under brisk acceleration... got to my driveway and it died again! Managed to get it in the garage before it quit for good.
I suspect an obstruction like a loose chunk of foam or other foreign body is intermittently blocking the fuel cell outlet... that's going to be fun to fix with a now-full tank.:mad:
