Took it back, and they fiddled with the fuel pump connection and cleaned out the MAF. Another $150 for that. The car started fine that day but was back to long startup times the very next day. They also forgot to reset my idle controls so the car revved up to 2300 RPM while idle.
I took it back and they reset the idle, and said I needed a new fuel pump which they would install for $400. They refused to discount it despite their wasted efforts from my previous two trips. Thanks, I'll install the pump myself.
I immediately checked the gas tank cap and re-fitted it. When I turned the engine on (with Dave still on the phone), Voila! -- the light disappeared.
My "Check Engine" light came on. I called Dave's Auto Service, and Dave came to the phone (during a very busy part of his day), and told me it might be something as simple as my gas tank cap not being screwed on tight.
Thanks Dave. Your taking time out from your busy schedule to answer my question is one of the many reasons that I am a loyal customer of yours and why I always recommend you to others.
I've been to Dave at least 3 times with my '73 truck. Service has always been excellent, he charges fairly for only the work you want, and most importantly he communicates well.
Took my car in for long startup times. They replaced the crankshaft position sensor and told me to pick it up. $150 for that. When I arrived, the car took just as long to startup.
As a man of 30 years parts experience, I'm proud to say this is where I myself take my ride as I'm too busy selling parts to work on my own stuff these days. A shop with ethics and a man with a heart. Rare these days my friends.
