Electrical Gremlins

I was out for a drive this afternoon and experienced something weird. Diring a 2-3 upshift, the motor died. There was a backfire then, NADA. Pulled over to the side and noticed the fuel pump was not running. Usually when I turn the key once, the fuel pump will start running - but for some reason it was not. Also, the fuel guage was not working and neither was the heater or wipers. I'm getting power because the horn, lights and starter all work. The motor will turn over and sounds fine (nothing internal) but it just isn't gettng any juice. The car is a Superformance. Any suggestions ??

You did check the fuses right? Always look for the easy fix first.

Ok - I feel like a REAL DIP$HIT - A small connection behind the dash, going into the ignition had come loose. I must have brushed it while reaching down to hit the cooling fan switch. DOHH

Oh yeah, hi again fellas

An easy fix is the best fix of all!
