So -5 this morning car starts right up, idles up to about 1000. I start off and make it about 1 mile down the road and I notice the boost climbing (road is flat), then then I put in the clutch and the engine dies.
So I pop the hood and the clear line going to the pump from the filter is foaming pale yellow. Sigh. So I get a ride home, grab my Power Service 911 and tools to get my CAT filter off. I take off the connections on the CAT filter and pull it out. The fuel level is down quite a ways, but when I turn it upside down, liquid diesel came out. So I filled it with 911, put 16 oz of 911 in the tank. Tried to start, nope. Pulled it home and popped the clutch in 2nd gear at 20 miles an hour and no start then either.
So my plan now is to have a friend pull the car up the hill to the shed by the house. Plug in my Frostheater and put some old blankets on the car to hold the heat in: my theory now is the pump is gelled up.
Any other ideas?
