Well I got my fuel pressure issue sorted out, seems it was probably just a loose terminal on the hotwire relay but I still have my emergency kit with me.http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/threads/stuck-on-the-side-of-the-road.414355/
So I once again leave NC headed for Boston. Everything is running great. At 1:00 am I pull into a rest area to catch a few z's. I wake up at 3:30, start the car and I have no headlights! I check all my other lights and my right rear turn/ hazard light isn't working either! I go back to sleep until sunrise then finished the drive to Boston.
While along after my nap I have very low BLM's below 2200 rpm in the 110 range. Before my nap they were all 120-122, a little low but acceptable. I took some fuel out at the lower ranges and no change. My INT numbers are high. I've never seen this before. I got 20.5 mpg while pulling a very light trailer on this trip and the car seemed to run fine even with the funny numbers.
Now that I got a good night's sleep it's off to troubleshoot the lights. Pretty simple circuits but what a PIA. The last 2 times I lost headlight's it was the high low beam switch and the last time I had a problem with the tail lights it was a broken wire. What were the GM Engineers thinking when they decided to use aluminum wire in some places?
