What about the other 10 months?

 

That's because I bought a pile and have done nothing but work on it for months......to turn it into the beast it was underneath all the neglect. Ironic thing is if I had found this forum before I bought it man o man would it have saved me some money, blood sweat and foul language. Real kudos go to the people who have been here for years and still take the time to help out new people like me! I think we need to take Riggers up on her offer and all meet in nice warm Texas for a bbq! It's freaking cold here right now and I am personally sick of it already and it's only January.

 

Can't be all that cold where ur at..



I changed my spark plugs in 20* weather outside. It was 10-15* when I redid my whole exhaust system in the driveway. It's bib cover all and sweat shirt weather for me.


Me personally would rather put more cloths on than not be able to take any off. Lol much over 80* almost kills me.

 

14 degrees out I'm staying in the house...

 

If it gets to 14 outside I'm staying in BED. Not even gonna step one foot on the floor!

 

Should be single digits here tonight

 

ya this cold weather for the birds, id rather see girls in bikinis then parkas!!`

 

A girl............from Texas..............driving an Excursion - you can't get much better than that!!

 

Once it gets below 0 it's getting cold. But that's if it's a calm day. That wind is dam cold sometimes even at 20* air temp.

 

I married a texas woman. After 10 years I finally got her to stop saying warshing machine. lol

We may be going down this winter yet to see her parents and for me to sweat my *** off. But at least I'll have some good steaks!

 

Now that's funny!

 

Money welcome to FTE, Florida sounds great right now

 

Thanks. One of my neighbors is down here for the winter...from Canada. Yep, this is the best time of year down here. I feel for ya, stay warm!

 

Are you around Ft Meyers...........

 

Yesterday I went to take the X to work, but it would crank strong and not fire. So after a few attempts I gave up and took the Fusion. Pretty sure the fuel pump wasn't coming on, so I assumed that I might have a bad pump.

Last night after I got home I went through the no-start diagnostic checklist, and one of the steps involved disconnecting the TPS and measuring voltage at the harness. I did that, the voltage checked out, and reconnected the TPS. The next step was to check for a fluctuating PIP value from the PCM while cranking...and when I went to crank it fired right up!

I can now definitely hear the fuel pump cycle on and off when I turn the key, as well as the audible click of the relay that I didn't hear when it wouldn't start. So I think I may have a bad fuel pump relay, and I hope to find time to mess with it further this weekend.
