Well in the 17th consecutive day of 100+ heat here in DFW, I decided to hose down my a/c coil outside my radiator with a pressure nozzle to help the little fella cool a bit better - I thought I was careful enough to only hit the coils but - she cranks all day long but won't start!
After looking under the car, I saw water dripping out the bottom of my about 8 month old alternator. $#@umbass I thought to myself! Blew it out with my toro leaf blower (while still mounted to the engine) and have been letting it sit for several hours. I've cranked here and there on occasion every hour or so with no luck.
Here are few things I've done so far:
**Battery is only about 8 months old and strong as it can be. I have it on a battery charger in between starting attempts.
**I've checked inside the distributor cap - it's dry. ALso checked below the plastic plate covering the lower part of the distributor.
**I've checked the airbox and the filter is dry and it's dry inside the pipe leading into the intake.
**I've pulled plugs - clean as a whistle (they're only about 4 months old too).
**I've sprayed starter fluid inside the intake to see if it was fuel delivery - nope no ignition.
**So I've got air, presumaly have fuel, but have no spark. The back of the engine wasn't even close to being wet so I don't think it's the crank sensor in the back by the tranny.
**I coolant sensor on the thermometer - it's dry.
Running out of airspeed and ideas fellas - anything else to look at? Besides a better brain for me? Speaking of brain, I haven't checked the PCM wherever that is, or the ignition module if there is one wherever that is.
Sorry for the stupid move - I owe y'all a Modelo!
