Driven to Insanity(in a good way)

So anyway, I got my plate for my 7, NOW I can drive it to work and such. SO I found out why my gas guage didnt work, no fuel >< Im so used to a good fuel Econ. and my Tach worked for 5 mins then died again, so Im either assuming Battery or as a buddy told me alternator. So when I find out, one of those will be fixed or replaced. Other then that Im gonna do a full tune up, new fuel filter, and flush the fuel thingy( im working 14+ hours in the Navy right now Bear with me ) so yea. after that I shall finish my mods. Peace out

Yep, you most likely do not have any spark on your trailing plugs. If so, then start looking for a replacement. On some years, the fuel pump will also fail to work if the trailing ignitor goes south on you.
