Ok so she's running.
But for how long?

I added 4L's of oil..ouch.. and there's about 1/4 cup of it on my parking pad at work.

I had one of my tall technicians (who likes getting dirty) crawl under and snap a photo, and some photos of the engine.

Who wants to see my dirty little Rustie's innards?

That's not an issue with Rustie and I.

I pat her dash daily and say "I love you"

Not even kidding.

If I wanted to do the "girly thing", I'd buy a bloody Civic.

I'm selling this p.o.s. I'm done.

I appreciate the help, but telling me to do the girly thing is an insult.

Hi Rustie, with your weather I'm sure you are familiar with gas lines icing and gas line de-icer products. If you have not been using a gas line de-icer this might be your problem (frozen gas line). Most gas stations sell gas line de-icer. Dump some in your gas tank and some fresh gas if possible then bounce the rear bumper up and down to mix and say a prayer.

*Gas line freeze happens more often when your fuel tank is near empty. More room for condensation (water) to collect. *

sorry itried to lighten up the situation a little .when you get your ford there prone to ignition modules going bad and hondas leak oil into the dist cap causing the module to short out right it down for future reference
