interesting afternoon...went to the stealership to check on the price of 4 new injectors...mainly out of curiosity. when i did the tune up the other day, i thought the plugs looked white, like it was running lean. so my theory was...slow to start, plugs show lean, bad smelling exhaust, and the occasional sputtering loss of power....maybe my injectors were going/gone bad. i showed my old plugs to the mechanincs at the shop there and they said they looked fine. so maybe it's not lean. but i told them i wanted to take the injectors off and test them and they told me there was no possible way to do that, even though i'm sitting here looking at the FSM outlining how to do it. so i don't know.
oh yeah, i went to crank it, and it didn't, as usual, so i turned off the key and turned it back on...nothing. i mean not a slow try, not one noise. great. i sat there for a while checking fuses, checking grounds from the battery to the starter, etc. everything looked fine. but key makey no noisey. no starty. so i ask the stealers for a jump, and he hooks the jump pack up (he actually hooked it up backwards the first time!! wtf???) and it cranked right up.
so after all this, is my slow to start problem being caused by a weak battery, and the other symptoms are non related? i would feel like an ass. guess i need to bust out the old test light and see if i can find some random wire drawing power when it shouldn't be.
my clock is never right when i turn my truck on. it is always some random number. not 12 everytime, it doesnt pick up where it left off, its just random. stupid clock.
