My wifes car died on us at 10pm at Walmart bout 2 weeks ago,,, ever have that happen to ya?? late evening, nobody to get ahold of to help out,,, just dont wanna wake em up ya know,,, So,, we was leaving the parking lot when the Lumina sputtered and died. After 15 minutes of cranking the starter, it did fire back up and we made it home,, barely,,,, but made it home, safe and sound. So, I figured it was the fuel pump, so replaced it, new filter too, bout 65 bucks,,, so, thinking my work was done and Id get of easy,, (yeah right) I hit the key and,,, and,, well NOTHING!! Still wont start. So, went to town bought a repair manual, (another 20 bucks) Picked up a MAP sensor,, those got out all the time, so what the heck right??? (35$ more) Put the sensor on, and now it will try and fire up, but dies as soon as it starts. I got high gas pressure at the little valve on the fuel rail,, That new pump is doing its job well,,, but no gas is reaching the injectors! I can spray a little starting fluid in the throttle body it will run till it burns out, or shoot gas from a spray bottle into it and it will run till it burns that out too. That pressure regulator on the rail,, Im thinking that may be whats going on here,,, When I do shoot gas into it, I can hear the injectors working,, I cant think of any electrical sensor or dohicky to stop fuel from reaching the injectors, other than the pressure regulator!! $135 more!! Pretty soon,, Ill have as much in the repair, as I had in the purchase price of the car! Sorry for sounding upset,, 2 weeks of messing around, and its still not up and running! (should have got a Ford)

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
