Could be the battery. Did you try to jump it. I find its usually the easiest thing, which usually gets overlooked.

Re: nothing Happens %$#^&^ (Tony DeRosa)
Had it happen several times with my 87. It was the VATS system. If it is, try this , disconnect the battery for a few minutes, then reconnect it. If the VATS has it locked out, this will reset and start. They make a bypass for Vats, I have one on 88. and never had the problem with this one. Good Luck :cheers:

Re: nothing Happens %$#^&^ (HG)
Yeah, HG sounds about right. Have someone check out the alternator and the battery. If one's ready to go, then so does the other.

Forgot to mention, if it the VATS, it will restart in about 15 min or so if you just let it set. :smash: :seeya
