CUBAN Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 well since i didnt get any good offers for my car, im going to restore it. well about a yr ago it had a small fire underneath, near the fuel pump. and now it won't start. someone said the fire was caused by a fuel/air problem, some said i should try the fuel pump or the starter. but im not sure what to do. i was wondering if anyone knows a mechanic in the torrance area that could come out and try to find the problem for me. and if anyone could help me find a turbo engine to replace my N/A i would greatly appericate it. thanks alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUBAN Posted December 27, 2003 Author Share Posted December 27, 2003 i found out what really caused the fire. the cat. converter over heated and started the fire. i replaced the spark plugs and now i found out that the fusible links were burned, they melted through. now i need to know where i could get some replacements for all four of them thanks alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest vegeta Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 congratulations, man!! you should probably go get some actual fusible links for your car, though, because just like fuses they protect certain parts from electrical surges. keep up the good work!
