Car won't start awaiting rebuilt ABS module...

Post by plumsmooth »

Car has been sitting quite a bit over the last couple of weeks and is low on gas.

Before I study the "will not start" flow chart, can anyone think of anything I may have damaged while removing the air filter and housing a couple of times and fiddling around in the chassis under and around the ABS module which I removed?

Update car is starting.

I used some IPA dry gas and added a gallon of regular and it started.

However I notice my Air Intake hose to the Air Filter Housing Assembly was off too.

I believe Air Intake can effect Car starts?

It has been humid here I have barely run her in Two weeks.

I think old cars like to be run...

They can be fussy to start after major work. My 1999 took 30 seconds of cranking after PvC service

Crank for 5 seconds, wait 20.... Repeat.
