Re: [T3] the mystery deepens


The Fuel pump is behind the front beam so you'll need to put the front
end up on axle stands to get to it easily. If the problem is only when
you've been driving in the wet, then it is probably the same reason that
my fuel pump was intermittent a while ago. Unplug it and you will
probably find that the little rubber boot that seals the plug is damaged
or wasn't on properly. Just clean it up and seal it back up with
insulation tape.

Yes, I always hear the 2 clicks, but I don't hear the pump when the car
won't start.

No, I don't know where the pump is (how embarrassing).

I don't think it's a corrosion problem on the fuses; they all look very
clean.  The inside of my car is in really good shape, nothing's rusted
or corroded.  I'll clean them, anyway, just to be sure.
