The problem was the starter. When the mechanic went to look at it, the engine did nothing. It was turning over for me, but I can only assume that the starter wasn't in good enough condition at that point to actually start the engine altough it would make noise and I could verify spark and fuel delivery. I think the original problem was out-of-gas and the starter was burned out while trying to start the engine after that point. The car is working now. Thanks for everyone who tried to help me locate what I had done wrong in maintenance procedures. -D -- \begin{humor} Disclaimer: If I receive a message from you, you are agreeing that: 1.
