funny starting issue
#1
Hi,
Ok foks, heres a funny one:
I have a 94 rodeo 5spd the 4 cylinder with about 180,000 miles.
story:
it has been running great, then one day the check engine light comes on, and then for a minute the brake light and seatbelt light start alternating flashing at me. then, the brake and seatbelt light turn off with the engine light remaining on. I drive it home with no problem.
problem:
next morning, I turn the key and the engine turns over strong, all electrical stuff works. but the car wont start.
I figure since I live in WI my fuel line must have frozen, so I wait for the heat of the day and try again but still nothing.
out of frustration I try to shake the truck violently to hopefully onclog some frozen fuel, then it starts!! I fuel it up, put the heet stuff in the tank, but it still wont start unless I shake it!
so for the past weeks I have had to shake my truck before every single start! until today when I cant get it to start at all.
what do you think?
