Had to leave the bump in a church parking lot last night...

Post by sublimer »

It was acting up, having issues going from a stop position. The Alt and Oil lights would come on for a second, then go off. I didn't have enough time to observe what I may have been doing when that happened. I also smelled a faint hint of rubber, but that may be from trying too hard to get it going.

I'm thinking that when I installed a new alternator last week, I may have the belts a little too tight. It was late so I didn't have time to fuss with it, but it's a bit frustrating. I'll try to bring Lucy home later this afternoon.

Just looking to rant, but I had some nice people give me a push from the intersection into the parking lot. A cop even held up the intersection. So embarrassing :o :pout: :help:

Church parking lot. Lucy may not work on Sunday anymore after spending the night there.
