first run of season, new plroblems...Q's

[GofaST4life]

ok, so i got her up and running...only to find new problems..of course...gotta love our DSM's.

anyway, besides the fact that my radio isnt working and my fog lights arent working (im thinking electrical), my boost gauge stopped working today. It was working fine, i had my MBC turned down to run 5-8lbs, after running like that for a day, i then turned it up a bit, not to much, should be running about 11-13lbs now. I get into the car to check and the gauge dont work, its not showing and vacuum or boost.

the previouse owner had this installed, ive never installed one, anybody have any clues as to were i should start? Its an Autometer gauge.

thanks guys

I would check the line of between the gauge and the vaccum line, maybe it heated and have some hole into it.

turns out one of my vacuum lines popped and i didnt notice...so the gauge is working fine now...

i think maybe the starter went, i turn the key, a slight humming noise is heard and nothing....

yeah, and so far this season has me swearing and throwing wrenches...

anyway, the battery is fine, but the car just wouldnt fire...just kept humming, so i went into the house had some dinner, walked back out, looked her in the eye and said, "give me a break, ive been good to you, for what reason do you have no not start??" Then my mom made fun of me for talking to my car, i sat down, turned the key, and she came to life...

im telling ya, these cars are a pain in the a**, fun as he** to drive, and they have the personality to match...
