Yesterday morning I go out like every day and hop in my Cobra, the only difference is that it wouldn't start. It would crank no problem but wouldn't fire at all. I start all the regular checks to figure out what happened. After finding my 2 month old 225LPH fuel pump not working I was pissed. After screwing around under the back of the car I pulled a connector apart and reconnected it. The car started and ran fine. Needless to say the connector had corrosion in it and wasn't sending the power to the pump. I've also been having an issue with the car running warm for a while and with an aluminum 4 core radiator it shouldn't even think about heating up. That was also caused by the low voltage to the pump. I cleaned the connector and put some dielectric grease to keep moisture out and the car runs better than ever. ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

It's time for the country to do what Obama's own father did.
Abandon him.

Just one of those things. I was frustrated by the whole thing but kept on trying stuff before pulling the tank. I would have pulled the tank and bench tested the pump just to find it working. Just a tip for anyone, recheck all your connections before pulling it apart.
