My main question is....
Is there a mechanic in the Hampton roads area of Virginia. I'm in Portsmouth, but will go anywhere in Newport News, hampton, norfolk, chesapeake, Va Beach area.
So here's how it went...
I'm in the navy and the day before I leave for christmas, I try to start my 96 LC w/ 117,000mi and it sounds more like my Cummins diesel. Only louder, more vibration, less rhythm, a big clatter. Wondering what in the world, I shut it off immediately. Opened the hood looked for something obvious, nothing. Tried to start again and then it sounded like it was missing.
Gone for a couple weeks....
Come back pull all sparkplugs, none fouled out.
Turned over the engine looking for any carbon buildup, nothing.
Looked for tracing in the distributor cap, nothing.
So, I reassemble everything, now i tried to start and it turned over for appx 1 second, then bogged down and locked up. Battery goes from about 16V down to zero like it's locked up. Battery is strong.
Thanks for the help.
