Car Fixed!
We were able to fix my car this weekend. It all started back in October when I was driving home from school and the car died. I thought the fuel pump just called it quits so I had it towed to Canadian Tire and they comfirmed it. The fuel pump was died. They were wrong!
It turned out that it wasn’t the fuel pump that was broken. It was a wiring issue to the PCM that was blowing my fuel pump fuse. After about 2 weeks of looking for a short we gave in and took it into Chrysler to find the problem. James - the mechanic - took the entire car apart to check the entire wiring harness from the engine back to the pump. It was fine. He re taped the wires and wrapped them up.
Since then the cars been running a little chunky. This weekend we replaced the new (cheapo) fuel pump with the old OEM one that we took out and the car runs fine.
Everyone says the dealerships are only out to get your money. This is untrue, it may cost a little more to get your car in with them. But it’s really worth it. They took the entire car apart and fixed the problem for $250.00. Defently would have saved alot of money if I just went to the dealer first. As for taking your money. Yesterday I took my back seat apart and found two dallors under the seat! James could have taken that - but he didn’t!
In other news! This one isn’t as exciting to me..
I did my math exam on Friday and as far as I can tell… I think I passed. We’ll see next semester.
