I WAS LUCKY, THE CAR WAS PARKED IN OUR GARAGE WHEN IT FAILED. I HAD NO POWER AT ALL. IF I HAD BEEN ON THE ROAD AT NIGHT ALONE AND THE CAR FAILED, I COULD HAVE BEEN IN SERIOUS DANGER…

DEALER SAID THEY HAD SEEN OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE SPARK PLUG FAILURE. THEY REPLACED BOTH THE PLUGS AND FUEL GASKET AND FUEL SENDER AT NO CHARGE. I WAS LUCKY, THE CAR WAS PARKED IN OUR GARAGE WHEN IT FAILED. I HAD NO POWER AT ALL. IF I HAD BEEN ON THE ROAD AT NIGHT ALONE AND THE CAR FAILED, I COULD HAVE BEEN IN SERIOUS DANGER. WHEN I TRIED TO START THE CAR, IT WAS CLEAR IT WAS NOT THE BATTERY BECAUSE I HAD THE RADIO AND LIGHTS JUST NO TURN OVER OF THE ENGINE AT ALL. THE FUEL GAUGE WAS STICKING. WHEN I WOULD FILL THE TANK, OCCASIONALLY, THE DASH INDICATOR WOULD NOT REGISTER THE FILLING. THE NEEDLE EVENTUALLY, HOWEVER, WOULD COME UP TO INDICATE A FULL TANK. SOMETIMES, TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND TURNING IT BACK ON WOULD CORRECT THE FAILURE. *AK
