Do you know anything about punctuation or capitalization?

I get so sick of this. This is an auto tech forum. If you want to correct spelling, grammar or punctuation go to a grammar web site.

Well, this isn't exactly an auto tech forum but I know what you mean. I nearly got ill reading that L 79 cam thread that got run in the ground.

But I didn't complain about it.

Common courtesy anywhere to use something close to correct spelling and/or punctuation so you can read a post. I found this one difficult to read and said so. Your post is uncalled for and unproductive.

He has to know if it is spinning the pump as well.

He can crack a line going to one of the nozzles and see if the line bleeds pressure while the engine is cranked. Another thing, shoot some aerosol brake cleaner in the air intake and see if that makes it run.

I barely made it through the eighth grade but I can do a little better than some I see here that post without punctuation and capitalization, run sentences together, etc.

This results in confusing, unclear questions that are hard to make sense of without further questions.

Get an aspirin and chill out.

It's much easier to read, understand, and interpret what someone is asking for, or, what kind of help they need, if what they say can be easily read.

Or even be able to try and understand what is being asked without having to re-read the run on sentences 4 times over. What's so hard about hitting a period or comma key?????

The cable housing is located on the passenger side between the distributor and rear of the fuel meter. If the cable is not broken, check the cable ends, they should be square. Measure the cable length, this changed depending on year and model of injector, from memory somewhere around 6 1/4 - 6 3/8. Post your distributor model and injector model and others will chime in on what the correct length should be. If cable is good crank the engine to see if the distributor cable drive shaft is rotating. Post back with what you find. I hope I got the speeling and puncsinnation correct..

Some are funny about those not filling out a profile since you asked.

I am guessing that we are all grown men on this site and long past school. The point is you can't educate people that have a problem with the written language on this forum. Just try and figure out what they are saying and try to help without the peanut gallery, condescending remarks of don't respond I all I am saying.

If you don't like a thread for what ever the reason you have the power in your fingers to not click on it.
