Looking for mechanic and help

Those of you who know us, know my son Chas is going to Lanier Tech for a degree in auto mechincal and electrial enginering. He talked me into going single after rebuild of engine and was able to get the car running for a few days then he had a wiring problem (that he thought he had located and corrected). However, since that day over 6 weeks ago, he cannot get the car to fire. He says it's got spark and fuel.

i am at a point where I need to get some expertise and gladly pay for their services. So if anyone out there is looking for a challenge and needs some extra cash please call me at 770-335-4000. We live in Suwanee.


Tthank you in advance and enjoy your Holiday Season.

Fred

Here was a weird one. On top of the power steering pump is a wire and connector that on a friend's car, was disconnected and the car would not turn over. Found it and thought, no way would that keep it from turning over. Slipped it back on, and it fired right up. This was after trying new plugs, ATF trick, nothing worked, found that connector and it turned right over.

Just a shot in the dark.

yes i have talked to Charlie and i think they are they best, however i take my car in there for any reason (even mnor things) and i walk out seeing a $ thousand or so gone. not sure what the problem is, i see them requiring putting the car back together to begin the process.

once we have it firing we can finish the project quickly. if i can not located someone who can help i will more than likely have to go that route.
