I'm Awesome
(I've posted this same q to gmtruckclub forum as well. Apologies if seen as rude or unpolite behaviour)
Pulled Red Dust - '89 350 TBI - to company car park this morning. I was running low on petrol, actually lower than ever before, the needle was close to empty. The plan was to to fill the tank upon leaving, closest pump being only mile away.
However, when time came, no go! Cranked powerfully but did not catch. Obviously, I figured that maybe I had indeed run out of petrol. Managed to pull appr. 15 liters to tank, needle moving up and over of first mark. Still no go! Eventually I was forced to give up and bummed a ride home from co-worker.
I must go back tomorrow with some xtra petrol and try again, but I'm starting to think that this might not be an empty tank problem.
The place is such that no work/diagnosis is really possible, so if it doesn't start tomorrow with the simplest things its tow truck time.
The question to forum members is: any ideas on what might've gone wrong? As said the truck was running nicely untill turned off, allthough 'service engine soon' light did stare at me some part of the journey and was glowing when I turned the engine off. SES has been occasionally coming and going in recent past but so far I've not taken any action on it, did it now bite me back?
