I was driving me Daily Driver when it shut down on me in the middle of the road. I thought I heard metal scratching like when your all ready started and you turn over the key again (grinding) but im not shure.
I checked an put gas in the stupid thing, its got gas. I can hear the tank pump running when key is turned to "on" and the whole thing lights up about as bright as usual.
Oil was changed reg. since I took it over at 90k miles (its about 160k miles now have to go look for an exact reading) and the antifreeze is in there full and is good still I think.
The tow guy said it might have been the pump shutting off, I said I can hear it turning on but he checked any way. its running up.
Bout the only thing the dash board "idiot lights" are doing is there normal start up routine and then the battery light stays on.
It cranks up smooth and sounds like always, save no growl to life.
It just wont start, whats wrong with it??
It is a FWD 4 banger, manual 5-speed escort. and i has work tomarow.
