There is a spark tester you can buy. Costs about 3.00 is a simple plastic housing with a clip so you can attach it.


No REAL man would EVER spend 3 bucks on a cheap piece of plastic when he could risk getting a good shock or even get killed by using a manly tool like a screwdriver.

Thanks everyone. All fuses are good. I'll continue checking things. I thought the pump was working... now I'm not so sure.

Rest what case?? That you may be right?



You sounded like a smartass when you replied... I said nothing directly to you... so what.



I had a problem with my car. I was pissed and so I posted what happened so anyone could give me some ideas right away. Do I need to go through a checklist of activity prior to posting on here?? Give me a break.

So the motor just turned and turned and didnt even cough or hiccup?



Did it start to stink?



Any smoking before this? Did you ride her like a cheap hooker the night before you parked her then just shut her off without whispering sweet nothings in her ear? (I ask because thats exactly what happened when I toasted mine ^^)

Dude, chill out, you took it the wrong way. lol I wasn't attacking you, stop being paranoid.



Edit: We're all a bit looney here in the crack house. You have to learn to take some ****, it's not all meant to be taken to heart.
