Weak sauce, my friend. Too far of a stretch, kinda a personal attack. He's not even in here.

I'm out of the loop. What happened?

[Montesinnos]

Ok guys. Just a quick update.

I changed the ignition switch with the $9 URO from Amazon. It was easy enough. Maybe took 30 minutes due to position upside down under the steering wheel.

The car turned on 3 times in a row. A little "angrier" than normal. I will drive it to work today to see if it's gonna disappoint me.

This is probably just my mind playing tricks on me, but I feel like the key is smoother. I do remember having issues that the key would have to be force now and then to be turned. It had to be "just right" to turn. Now, it's going around much easier. Also in and out.

I will report back.

Another symptom of a bad switch.

Ok. Drove to work and back today. 15 miles each way. Both of the times, the car turned on without any problem.

However, I think that every time the car didnt start it was hot. As in I drove for 20 minutes, stopped to eat or pump gas and then tried to start it. It never not worked when it was cold.

Ok guys, I updated the OP with more details of the issue! Bad news and horrible news

Bad news
Car was working for a week. Put some gas in it and everything seemed to be dandy. But it got worse.

It just stopped staying on. It would turn on for 3 seconds and shut down. I tried it enough over 2 days that now it doesn't even turn on anymore.


I uploaded a video of the event. This was last night.

Horrible news
Wife hasn't left yet



Any advice?

After a big fight, the wife said she was leaving me. She packed her bags. At the door, she turned around and said, "You bastard, you planned this, didn't you?"

I said, "No! What makes you think that?"

She said, "Your friends. The ones hiding behind the couch with the balloons."
