I got a call from Charlie a little while ago :( I have a bad fuel pump. I almost did it the other day, but talked myself out of it. Now it will cost me about $585.
Last night at work I was talking to one of the other guys and described to him what I was finding. He said it sounded just like what happened to his old Escort and that he ended up replacing the fuel pump after he had tried about everything else.
I am a little mad at myself, but I will get over it when I get to drive it again. I like my truck for truck stuff, but it still ain't the same as the Li'l Red Wagon 8)

Got it back and it is the same old car. Runs very well. Especially after driving a truck for a few days.

Glad to see that....also feel bad for you that you didn't go ahead with the fuel pump yourself.

Hey David, I have a present for you. I went ahead and did the repair on both of the relays. You can have yours back and know that it is fixed. I will get it to you one day next week, since I will be on day shift all week, I can get it to you one evening.
I really appreciate you for helping me out. 8) Even though that wasn't the problem :(
