So Glenn wins, i'm batting eleventy billion right now...
...on the way home from work, come off of 309 onto 895 (road to new ringold u-pull it) and I feel the caprice stumble, then I immediately notice the loss of power steering.
I new almost immediately what it was...yet again the fuel pump has crapped.
Round one, Fuel Relay. Swapped in new one, and it worked. Plugged back in old on later on, and it worked too. :shrug:
Round two, Fuel pump/sending unit. Caprice's are know to burn the stock wiring in the fuel tank. Mine was no exception. (hooray for safety btw)
Today less then 4,000 miles later fuel pump is gone again. If it caught on fire like last time, I will need another sending unit and fuel pump (~$450). Luckily I had a shop fix the car the first time for the fuel pump so all if it should be covered. But I had to wait two hours for a tow truck guy, not a flat bed, tow truck to show up. The shop he came from was literally 7 miles away. And he stopped at the gas station, right where I was stranded, TO GET DINNER. That mother %$#&* #$@@@%^ ^$^##$ $#$#&^ pulled into the station 250 feet from where I was standing for two hours to get dinner and I was left there from ~4:45 to 6:45 when he came on over with dinner from the gas station. Then I didn't get home till a little after seven after he towed the caprice to the shop. Also to mention he was speeding while towing a ex-police cruiser that still has the decals no less. What a numpty.
He was freakin lucky I went in early and got a slice of pizza at about 6pm while I was still waiting...:nonono:...had I not eaten there would have been hell to pay.
Needless to say, I am not a happy person right now.
