    blower quit on me

    thanks, i'll try the smacking thing. The blower doesn't work at any fan speed, any temp setting, recirculating or fresh air setting, etc. It's probably fried.

    blower quit on me

    I didn't even know there were resistors there. How would I check them, and eliminate the blower itself as the cause?

    Boy, I dunno about the tire bouncing thing, it feels more like a severe vibration than tires bouncing, plus I don't hear any noise from the tires.

    stupid q

    thanks for all the responses, finally got it timed right yesterday evening. I ended up putting the timing light on it, figuring out where it was firing, marking the cps, taking it out, rotating the engine to 10 deg, and putting the cps in the exact way it came out. Worked like a charm. What a...

    Car goes completely dead

    that doesn't necesarily(SP) matter. My car did the same thing in a parking lot, I checked the cables, the terminals were new, and I had a buddy tow it home. I took a wrench to the terminals and tightened all the bolts/nuts, and haven't had a prob since. Try it, what could it hurt? Terminals...
