Ignition coil still needs spark plugs. I'd spray ether or carb cleaner in my intake. But I doubt you'll need that. I did go out for a jog this morning and asked the ASE hub he said your engine was now junk and time to crush the car. I think he was in a bad mood.

It's possible the mood had something to do with me finding a kitten with it's head stuck in a soup can. I had to wrap it in my shirt to get it home, put the can in the vice and use vice grips and dykes on the can to get it out. I then changed my shirt. Hub is sure I have cooties and I am now junk and can go to the crusher with your car.

I eat them and stay up until I feel them starting to kick in. I ate all of the cleanup gumminess. I always forget about that part lol.
I just really started with the edibles. I’m a lifelong insomniac and I’ve taken everything for it from Seconal to Trazodone and gummies work the best for me so far. Chemicals just don’t work right for me. I’m paradoxical to a lot of meds. If I take Valium look out! It makes me homicidal. Ambien is just like cocaine to me. Thank you God for thc.
And thanks to my angel for helping me out.

I'm very similar, five hours is a great night sleep. When I do have a cookie it's usually an hour or so before I go to bed. I think it's a metabolism thing with me, if I'm sleeping I stay high forever lol.

Oh c'mon leave him some fear and anticipation. That's what spices up auto mechanics.

On that motor the oil pump is also the front main seal......I lost all oil and drove it home.....fixed the seal and never worried about it......just sold that truck/buggy a couple months ago. Didn't even start it in the last 3-4 years..he drove it home....jumped the battery and off it went roosting down the back roads.

Turn the key but don't crank the motor

yep...it will also tell you if the pump is actually working and give you insight on the tank too.....

So I turn the key like where it turns all the electrical stuff on but do not turn it so far as to start the car up? Once I turn the battery on do I depress the gas pedal and it’ll just start flowing out? It just strikes me as odd that the fuel pump would start pumping just because the battery is on

no, just to turn the key to the on position, and the pump should start pulling fuel out of the tank....easy peasey. In some cases you can go direct to the pump without even turning the key on......all you need is 12v battery, and a way to connect to the pump that way bypasses the relay....

Awesome man thanks for all the help and that goes to all of you guys @curious2garden @DarkWeb @DCcan @sarahJane211 @BarnBuster .. So does this sound like a good plan:
- siphon out what I can
- add a few gallons of GASOLINE to the tank
- unscrew the fuel line going into the fuel filter
- turn key to on positron and allow pump to empty out a few gallons (maybe not allow it to empty everything as I know running pumps without a liquid is bad for them?)
- screw fuel line back in and completely fill tank up
- turn the car on and cross fingers

I saw on that taco forum other people talking about changing the plugs. Hoping this will not be necessary but should I add that into my plans somewhere also?

Blinker actually has a grease fitting on it so no problems there. I’ve done my oil and oil filter before (couldn’t believe how easy it was). Why do people change the spark plugs out?

Think of your Bic lighter....sparker gets wet or something on it it's a bitch to light.

Sparkplugs ignite the fuel. Not only is diesel oily it cleaned shit that might foul the plugs. It's good to do anyway with your mileage. Probably get some better mpg and some power back.

Might be a good time to take in your muffler bearings for a machining. Out-of-round muffler bearings can make your torque curve lopsided, and you don’t wanna find THAT out during an emergency maneuver.

On a more serious note, spark plugs are subjected to high voltage, very high temperatures, and fouling or burning if your mix is off. They’re wear items like, say, brake pads.
Inspect your plugs. If they look ok (web has pics etc.) give’m a light wire brushing. The “long-life” ones have a tiny button of iridium on the ground electrode. Be careful not to dislodge it if present.

Du you know how to gap a plug? Getting the electrode gap just right is pretty important.
