Turns out my fuel pump was quickly on it's way to a shallow grave. Managed to limp it to the mechanic this morning after calling out from work. Thankfully I had the time off to cover.

Just over 600 to cover that and it fixed most of the problem. I'm still having a delayed start and random stalls. At least now the engine is getting proper fuel and I can restart it on the fly by dropping into neutral and igniting while coasting. The pain in the ass is that I lose power steering and brakes, so I have to do it fast.

Going to be going over the electrical system in detail on my first actual day off, Monday. It could be simply a loose wire, or it could be something more sinister. Gonna start simple though. The KISS method hasn't failed me yet.

At least there's a silver lining to the cloud that just wiped out my savings. My fuel gauge reads accurately... for the first time ever.

Now to somehow scrape up enough money to cover rent and car insurance... Hopefully my OT requests will go through and I'll be up to my ears in busy so I won't have to worry about it.

Anyway, thought I'd see how everyone's doing.
