Default FINALLY SHARKY RUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well after a month of tracking down my dead on the side of the road problem....I traced it down to a bad fuel pump.....then after a myriad of my ham fisted mistakes...(not always using new copper washers, stripping new fuel pump, cracking fuel cross over pipe, spilling gas all over the garage) I learned alot about 928 no-start problems....the good news is SHARKY RUNS with no leaks....added benefit it runs very smooth too.....

Thanks to 928intl for shipping out my numerous orders quickly and Rich Andrade for helping me figure this out.....

TIME FOR BWAAAHHH

Does it run smoother than it did before the old pump died?

Nice going, Brian! Sometimes you just have to keep pecking away at the problem...

It didn't run bad before, but it did idle slightly worse before....of course it could just be the fact that the LH reset, which resets the idle....& my "happy its running" thinking its better than before!

I even drove it to work tonight....which I only do a couple times a year!

Its one of those things that you just start at the top of the "check this" list and start working down...I now keep the 9 page no start diagnosis in the car...just in case..along with 3 extra 253 relays & two jumpers!! Live and learn I guess...at least it wasn't the LH....since those are $500 and fuel pumps are only $200!
