Hey Dweb! Been a while as me and my 95 D1 have had no trouble. Just replaced the steering box to get rid of constant drip and ran into trouble.
Replaced the steering box and worked fine except I got a high pitched squeal at idle. No noise above idle. Yes, I bled the box to fill the pump several times and can't really trace the squeal to the pump. The archives are littered with pumps that fail right after a box change so I have to keep it in mind.
After two days or a bout 10 miles I parked it overnight and now it will crank very well but won't fire a lick. Fuel pump puts pressure to rail (don't have a gage, just press the schrader valve and fuel squirts for 1 second indicating pressure).
Checked fuses for fuel pump and fule injection and they are not blown.
Pulled a sparkplug and it is dry but that's probably not a surprise since it won't fire the fuel probably won't flow. Tried cranking with plug out and couldn't see a spark but have no helper and it was daylight.
Any suggestions before I cave in and have it towed? If I have it towed are you folks having sucess with regular shops since the 95 is old technology?
Thanks in advance!
