Thanks! Its really frustrating not having a vehicle. I hate not being able to go get things I need without borrowing someones car or truck. Luckily my dad got his truck fixed saturday (spark plugs and wires needed to be replaced) and it is running fine or we would have several stops on the way to work!
Isn't life fun!

I remember the few times when I vehicle was out of commission and we only had one vehicle it was a pain. At that time we worked different hours and 40 miles apart!!
Hope something gets running soon!!!

Our ford used to do that all the time... so I was going to say check the old spark plugs... they are either dirty or need changing!

What I know about cars is scary... I learned all I know from my stepfather, the only problem was that he was useless too! He just used to hit the battery, go through the gears one at a time and press the clutch until it either started or he deemed it broken! I always thought that was the way to get a car started! Shows you what I know 'eh?

Just have to say thanks for all the truck get fixed cheap vibes! They worked!!
The bad news is it was something we checked and sealed but just didn't seal the right part of the tube!
The tube was only 30 buck but the diagnostic was 60 and the labor was a whopping 80!! So we came in at just under $200!

Thanks again everyone!
