The new part arrived today

to replace the sensor/wiring that was chewed through. I checked the fuel filler after putting everything back together and I now get the "click" when the fuel filler valve is opened that was missing before. The car was very low on gas before and was now showing about 1/4 tank and the fuel light was no longer illuminated as I headed to the gas station to fill it up. Unfortunately I immediately was doused with gas again as it evidently did not solve the problem so back to the drawing board with I guess replacing the fuel valve assembly. I put about 6 gallons in the tank slowly and carefully and drove the car about 15 minutes to my parents house. The car sat for about 30 minutes but would not restart again and is "dry" cranking like it had done before. I let the car sit again for about 2 hours and still could not get it to start. I am going to go back over there tomorrow and see if the durametric will show anything. The CEL l had before is now gone due to the car being unplugged while I was waiting on parts to arrive.
