The best way is to junk both of those POSs and have her buy a better designed car.




But if she wants that junk to run, then you need to drain the fuel and replace it with fresh fuel. It has gone bad. Also change the plugs, wires, and oil. If it still wont start, pick up a can of ether and us it to try to start the car. If it starts then its a fuel problem and could be a simple as the fuel system needs to be primed again. If it doesnt start, its an ignition problem.

I hope your lawyer is more qualified to handle your business than you are to fix her cars.

Thats great.....but to me this does NOT seem like a good idea...conflict of interest???

If she looses your case....then what? The car breaks down and she thinks you did it for loosing your case....

I dont f' with lawyers, or Tabs.....they scare me....

"Discussion about general maintenance, maintenance issues, and other normal and not-so-normal j-body issues"

maybe since those are not j-body's they should be in the forum specifically designed for 'other cars'. it's cleverly titled 'other cars'
