I did nto see anythign loose or any connections missing that may have been possible while working. I am abotu to go crazy. The truck is at the side of the road. Any help is appreciated! |

The truck is at the side of the road. Any help is appreciated! When did you last change the fuel filter? Is there any fuel in the carb when you look down in there? --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

Because that is what you were working on last, so a PRIME suspect as to what the trouble could be. Some A/C systems come on automatically for a brief run (even in the winter) so it will circulate the oil in the system. Also will come on for defrost with some systems. Anyway if you disconnect the A/C compressor and you still have the problem, then you can eliminate that as a suspect. And if there was a problem with the compressor, it could place a large load on the engine. Probably not the problem, but since you installed a new one and that was what you were working on, I would be sure that was not the problem. |

I wouldn't leave that vehicle parked by the side of the road too long.I
would get somebody with a vehicle and a chain or tow rope and get it home.Especially in my neighborhood. cuhulin |
