--- Quote from: Nephasth on July 08, 2017, 11:43:49 am ---I find it mildly hysterical you're trying to attempt to troubleshoot a vehicle problem without the vehicle in front of you. "Engine cranks, but won't start - no CEL" has probably one of the biggest troubleshooting trees of any vehicle problem. You gotta follow the troubleshooting steps. If you skip a step, you'll waste time for nothing. My previous years of experience, lean my thought more towards a fuel delivery issue and not an electrical issue, since it cranks over fine (one of the first steps of almost any troubleshooting tree is to check the battery connections). But, to reiterate, follow the proper troubleshooting steps. If you can't, take it to a technician who is capable. And Randy, don't forget about the fuel return line... if that's obstructed, engine no runny. Point is, there are many components that could fail in a fuel system. Don't be just a parts changer. Find the problem, fix the problem. Don't shotgun ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. --- End quote --- I agree with everything you have said regarding a problem like this, but there are some common issues with specific vehicles, and sometimes you can get lucky by checking those first. There are vast portions of the internet devoted to this type of thing, and they have helped me out on numerous occasions. Granted, this probably isn't the best place to find that information, but I've done my share of reading about and working on issues with these vehicles, because I own one. Just trying to help someone in need. --- Quote from: Howard_Casto on July 08, 2017, 11:50:43 am ---Hey in a recent thread he went on to try and explain the effects of alcohol on rubber even though I worked almost exclusively on printers (which often require a touch of alcohol on their rubber parts for cleaning) for a 4 year period. Don't feel bad. ;) --- End quote --- Howard, you warned against using isopropyl alcohol on rubber (of which there are many compositions), in direct response to my recommendation to do so in the context of cleaning a membrane pad for a remote. You didn't offer an alternative and now state that you used alcohol to clean rubber parts. If it's bad for the rubber, why do rubber manufacturers indicate that it has little effect on the type of rubber in question, and more curiously, why did you use it? Did your boss know? :) |

Somehow I get the feeling that there has never been a lot of usage of rubbers around here. So we'll forgive the lack of hands on experience. |

Keep us informed! |

Well I managed to get a pre-order in for a Snes classic, and nothing good ever happens to me so I was waiting for the other shoe to drop. The cat is missing. At first I thought he just ran off, but I've been looking all day. He's a house cat.... rarely goes outside, so I'm afraid something happened to him. |
