Re: My car is sick (fairway)
fairway,
Could you provide a few more details. Was it running well on the trip to and from the store? When you say it has no power sitting in the drive, do you mean it won't rev in neutral? Tell us a little more about the noise.
If you haven't checked for codes, that could be helpful in trying to get a diagnosis.
Good luck.

Re: My car is sick (fairway)
fairway,
Thanks for the update. Glad they got ya goin' again.
C5-TECH has advised in several posts, that the left side injector harness is subject to shorting to ground because of chafing at the metal loom. As I recall he said #7 and #5 were most often the ones to have a problem.
Good luck.

My guess is you got some bad gas and the fuel filter may be hosed. Have it checked before letter them do something major. I assume they can test for fuel pressure.
