Can anyone link me to the no-start thread? Couldn't find it.
Also taking advice on troubleshooting intermittent no-starts. '92 wagon with 3.1, m47. Not a lot of rhyme or reason to when. Windshield leaks like a sieve. Cranks like a motherf7cker, but just won't fire up. Doesn't matter if it's got almost no gas or a full tank. Wouldn't start damn near on E last Friday, got it to the gas station, wouldn't start again with a fresh tank.
Gonna start with reflowing the solder in the fuel pump relay. I replaced it with another I had, but that one was a used relay that came with the last car, so I'm not going to be the least bit surprised if it's still the problem.
I've spun the fuses, replaced the fuel pump fuse, no dice.
The damn thing always seems to start JUST as I'm about to employ the next option. One more try to demonstrate to a coworker that it won't start before I swap the relay, and away it goes.
One last try before I tape a piece of wire in to jump the pumps at the gas station, and away it goes.
