DI cassette died in Costco parking lot! Posted by Rod [Email] (#3128) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Rod) on Sat, 12 Sep 2009 10:19:20 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I was out doing some grocery shopping this morning, came back to my 95 9kCSE, turned the key - and no start. The fuel pump is less than a year old, the DI cassette was only about 2 years old, so I figured this must be the crankshaft position sensor. I was about to run through Ari's no start check list (I carry a copy with me everywhere I go!), but figured I would throw on my old DI cassette that I carry as a spare, since it only takes a couple of minutes. Put the old DI cassette in and vroom, starts right up.
Very disappointed to only get about 2 years of life out of the DI cassette, and this is the first one that has gone so suddenly. The one I keep in the trunk starts missing when it gets hot, but it's otherwise OK. I keep the plugs gapped to 0.9-1.0 mm and put dielectric grease on the boots - not sure what else to do to extend the life.
Oh well - I guess it's time to help the guys at eEuroparts with their boat payments once more.
