I got to witness the coolest thing. (Preface: Sometimes God says "Go to this show." and I say "But I don't know any of the songs and I have a urinary tract infection and there's papers and photos and shit strewn all over my floor and my car is broken..." and God says "Amie stfu and go to the show." and I'll say "But srsly God I only know one song" and God says "Good, it';s better when you can't predict the builders." and I'm like "Goddamit why are you a jerk taskmaster" and God's like "Amie buck the f*** up." and I'm like "You owe me." and He's like "Wahhhhh. Now go. You're late., you're late, and I need you to meditate.")

So I'm the girl at the show who is like the person who only knows HSIN at Moz shows, but I'm feeling the vibe and loving it. But this guy in front of me? He's a hardcore CWK fan. They released an album last week, he knew all the words to the new album songs and the old songs, he was solid. So this was just a synchronicity thing but it was cool to be part of. OC Kids are basically the children of yuppies, so they're pretty polite in general, especially this crowd. The vibe of CWK was very non-ego and gracious which is refreshing for a rock band. But people weren't yelling out requests, they were just enjoying the show. But THIS GUY, randomly yells out "ROYAL BLUE!" (or something that sounded like that, I don't know the songs) and CWK sticking to what was obviously a planned setlist were probably going to play it anyway, but they busted into it and the singer said "You got it, my friend."


Made. This. Guys. LIFE. He was SO PUMPED he and his friends were giving high fives three songs later, the adrenaline that he was personally acknowledged shot him through the roof, it was soooooo cool. I even gave the guy a high five.

So this is my life today. Earlier a unit had no power and I had to figure that out and did. Now onto my own probs, lol.

This is a quote from another guy who had the same problem so I'll follow his lead.

As I mentioned in my newbie post, I swapped a trailer for a 98 Lanos SE 3 door manual hatchback with the 1.5 SOHC motor. The seller (a workmate) informed me of an intermittent starting fault (he was suspecting the fuel pump relay or wiring). He wanted to wreck it but I just couldnt let him as the car only has 110 000 kms on the clock. Anyway, I test drove car during lunch break. RAN VERY WELL. Signed over rego papers. That afternoon I went to start it to go home but it just kept turning over. Waited 10 secs and tried again. Car started and got me home running fine again. Got to work OK the next day too. But got home that arvo and the car hasnt started since. First I swapped the FP relay with the working horn relay and even put in a new one. No good. I then noticed that the fuel pump made no noise upon turing key to ON. I do hear a click in the engine bay fuse box but I couldnt check which one it was. I then went under the rear seat to the FP. I pulled out the FP mostly to see what wire was what on the harness. There are 6 wires; Two for the DC pump (+ and -), two for the fuel gage resistor float arm and two more to a little sensor mounted very low on the FP, WHAT IS THIS SENSOR FOR? Ran the pump out of car on the driveway with 12V which worked. Geez it is pretty noisy (wasnt when the car last ran). Anyway, now knowing which pins on the FP harness were for the DC pump motor (I can draw a pic if anyone needs to know), I tested these with a multimeter...0V upon turning key to ON. I then hardwired the pump to ON power from the blower line from the in car fuse box under the glove box, and and earth of course. Tried to start, no good. Noisy though. Pulled the quick release return line off the fuel rail. Cranked her over and sprayed fuel all over my garage, so it has fuel! QUESTION: WHAT TELLS THE FP TO TURN ON AND OFF? THERE DOESNT SEEM TO BE A PRESSURE SWITCH THAT I HAVE FOUND AS YET.Then pulled out a sparkplug and cracked the engine leaving the plug in the plug cap. No spark at all. Tried another plug. Still no spark. All through this debarkle I have been checking fuses. Nothing blown. Checked all my HT leads with multimeter. They're all about 7K ohms. Is this OK? Ive checked the ECU for water damage internally. None. Looks mickey mouse. Tried jumping pins A and B on the OBD1???(I think) connector for codes but the Check Engine Light (CEL) does not illuminate at all. I atleast expected a 12 (no fault) code. I then pulled the instrument cluster out to check the CEL bulb which was fine. So NO codes to go off .Tearhair Pulled coil pack off. All looks OK but theres not much to look at is there as they are a sealed unit. WHY DOES IT BOLT ON THE END OF THE CRANKSHAFT AREA? WHERE IS THE CRANK ANGLE SENSOR? Car does NOT have an immobiliser as far I can tell. Just an ordinary key, no remote or central locking or anything on this car. NO toroid around the igntion barrell. No clutch switch for starting either. I dont think its relevant but the car does have air con (that doesnt work), but does NOT have power steering. My profile has VIN and Engine numbers if they're important.

The answer to all my problems. God bless the internet.

Pro Tip: My boss isn't stupid. While his offer to pay her $228 electric bill seems very Good Guy, there's a motivation. If her power was cut she'd be burning candles. Four toddlers in an apartment full of candles is a LOT MORE EXPENSIVE to deal with when they BURN DOWN THE COMPLEX than paying a $228 electric bill. But I'll call him a good guy.
