Possible, unless father in law discharges from the hospital, in which case I will be busy.
TROUBLESHOOT this:
Driving to Markham Park on I95 South, come to dead stop traffic (semi burning down). So we decide to shut the car off to "save gas".
Go to start it and NOTHING. No click, don't hear my fuel pump, acts like a dead battery but I was reading 14.2 volts up til now. Kept trying to start it about 5 times then all of a sudden it hiccups a little so I give it some gas to get it started.
Runs like a champ all the way down to Miami but my scangauge OBDII reader is going haywire..on/off/on/wrong data/etc. Other than that I have good power, no other apparent issues.
Park it at the meet, shut it off, try to start it again and NOTHING.&^&^%(^_^_*(&&$&^%$^%$
So I start looking for issues. Battery connected, good grounds, fuel pump wires all intact, OBDII connected properly (checked it for the scangauge, not essential to start the car). I can't find ****.
So I try to start the car again and the monster is ALIVE!! So I jiggled something and have it running again albeit now I'm a little gun shy. Voltmeter out last night and it seems I'm getting power to PCM, good connectivity to fuel pump relay, good grounds (checked again), good everything as far as I can tell. NO codes pulled up.
I'm clueless as to what happened....thoughts???

I wonder if I jarred something by that relay...I was down there the night before hooking up the fans to the 12V switched source...hmmm...will still have to trouble shoot the scangauge...prob a bad ground somewhere or shotty B+ running around. Have the V8 guys offerring up help too.
I'll jump the relay tonight for good measure. good call on that one fellas.

If my father in law wasn't in hospital, I'd be all over my car right now. Decided I need to redo some wires, rewire my battery relocation and move some fuse boxes.
Gringo, if you are going to do battery relocation, now is the time to get ready. I feel like tackling electrical garbage!
