Hello group - your advice needed, badly!
I went to start my 87 LeBaron GTS 2.2 Turbo this morning and the car cranked beautifully but wouldn't start. I turned the key to on and could not hear the whine of the fuel pump, so this suggested a failed pump to me. In addition, the last time the car was driven (started perfect) was in rainy weather.
However, of course after scheduling a tow-in to the garage (due to my lack of tools) the car starts and drives beautifully, and the pump does not sound in any way out of the ordinary. I started the vehicle 3 or 4 times and drove it around the block to be sure it wasn't a fluke. It has not rained all day today. The car did not throw any codes when I checked.
To me, this suggests faulty wiring somewhere that may be susceptible to moisture - especially if the fuel pump itself sounds as it always has. Where is wiring most vulnerable? What other things might be causing my problem? This is the first time it has happened in the 3 years I've owned the car. I am going to take the risk of driving the car now, but it won't leave the city. Any help/suggestions/advice here would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks, Aaron
