Lugnut and I work through the day to get and load the trailer and RV. By about 3:30 we looked round and said "ok lets load the Z". Well, the car would not start. Well... Ok, we then start the checks to figure the problem. We first started with the classic checks, Fuel, Air, and Spark. Well no spark. Also, after a few cranks it was noticed no fuel either.
Ok... historically we have seen this trouble with position sensors. There are two upper cam sensors and one lower crank. The crank, is in an exposed spot, so that was the first one we worked on. No joy. On to the uppers. No Joy. By this time we were getting past my 5:30 planned launch time.
Time to implement plan B. Sparky!!!! What are your thoughts? After another hour, we exhausted what we could do on the phone.
So, Plan C, a visit from Sparky. Looking at the clock if we did not leave by 7:30, we would not make tech. After another hour of Sparky going through many of the system, we still did not have an operating car. As another hour went by, it was clear that we were not leaving that evening. Lugnut and I then took a break for dinner. When we came back, we still did not have a starting car.
Plan D??? Press the D into service. Lugnut and I turned to the D and did the prep need to get the D going. By 11:00pm, we called it quits and plan to leave at 8:00 for the track. In the morning we promptly load the D and headed to the track.
