Default Bad news..Good News..

Ok, for those of you that are following the saga of my car, and me NOT having it yet.
Special Interest autobody had to have a new Fuse Box installed/rewired. While before, during which time my car was smashed up, it still Ran. Now, no matter what they do, they CAN'T get it to run. They have had it back to Rodland Toyota/Scion twice. NO one has yet figured out whats wrong. Talking to my Insurance today, they agreed that unless it's fixed SOON, and fixed GOOD. I get a NEW car. HA! Of course, they have to add all my Mods to it first.

Hmm.. that is odd that no one can determine the cause

good thing is that they are willing to give you a new car if they are unable to figure it out so at least you're not getting the shaft

Yep! Talked to the Claims adjuster tonight. he can't give it a go by himself, he has to get approval from his bosses, but he agree's that it's been long enough, and that if they can't figure out what the problem is, then it's time to move on.

Luckily, I saved the original hood, exhaust manifold, Exhaust system, interior parts etc.
to the old car. I can uninstall my mods, and put them on the new car.. if I indeed DO get one.

Amazing - No one can figure it out... Seems simple - Power (Energy), Fuel, ignition

Someone cut the blue wire and no one will fess up.

Hope it works out for you. It has to happen now - if it doesn't it's damaged goods...

In case something crazy happens is exactly why I keep all my OEM parts, even when I sell the car, it'll keep it's value better with all the OEM parts installed.
