A coroner called Loretta Robinson last June and told her that her oldest son, Justin Walker, died when his car was struck by a drunken driver on White Horse Road. "I never would have imagined getting that call," she said. "Never in one million years expected that."

Robinson looked Anna Gonzalez, the accused driver, in the eye in court Tuesday as Gonzalez pleaded guilty.

The grieving mother then showed the judge the many bills she's had to pay, even though her son was not at fault.

Robinson said she paid to have the wrecked car stored for months, in case there was a trial.

"I had to pay to have the vehicle towed," she said. "I had to pay for the vehicle removed and to clean up the street from Justin's blood on the ground."

Robinson said that was the bill that stung the most – paying $50 to have the street cleaned.

"First of all, having to open the mail and look at the charge to the deceased, Justin Darryl Walker -- the deceased! It's just a hard thing to deal with in the context of your child," she said.

Think perhaps my ECU has shit in the boat.

Although the only confusing thing is that it seems to be fine when the gas tank is full.

I am getting an alarm (temp, oil pressure, voltage, tranny temp, fault code). All my gauges show fine though.

After a fairly long run ~hr it shut off. Acted like out of gas. Figure the ECU is shutting off the fuel pump and it goes down. Fault keeps it that way for a half hour or so and then it fires back up and runs okay until it repeats.

Going to run it hard tomorrow and and when it shits open it up and peak at the fuel pump. It's my understanding that it should still have 12v to it. Don't think the ECU shuts it off when an accidental stall occurs. If I am wrong I suppose I could run a wire to the damn thing and plop my volt meter on the dash.

Any other thoughts? There is a shraeder on the fuel line so I can "check" pressure as well.

It should cut power if the engine is not running. Of course, marine programming could be different, but it should sense no spark or no exhaust and cut fuel as well. An automobile is the same way. ever notice if you just turn your key to the on position, you will hear your pump prime for a second or two, but it won't actually run until the vehicle is running.

I read differently on the marine, but am doubting the source. Any idea how to separate fuel pump from the control for it to check which is bad?

*assuming it's a fuel concern

Also, I assume that even when it dies there should be pressure in the fuel rail no? Meaning that if I check and there isn't any it is either the fuel pump control circuit or the fuel pump.

Obviously if it won't restart then I can check for pressure, but would love to try to isolate before getting to that.

So being I had no idea what dubstep was, I listened to some of the tracks (err, parts of them) in this thead:

My thought across the board was, when is this terrible intro going to be over and the song start.....but the intro kept going and going and going. Talk about pointless, talentless and boring. Jeez.

[///M5 2,833]

The first track is the epitome of this

Yes, it will still be pressurized. If you can, pick up a pressure gauge and install it on the fuel rail. Check the pressure when you notice it start acting up. YOu should have a schrader valve you can place it on with no adverse effects.

Yea I am not sure how kids listen to that stuff, it kinds pisses me off a little.

Nice they could come here and update the thread, right? Makes me want to not give them $400.00.

We announced on Facebook the name of the winner. His video needed to be re-edited as it showed some private info about his location/family and he didn't want that all over the net. It will be shared as soon as he re-posts it.

Ok

On the topic of dubstep. It's not really that good. I however have a really special place in my brain, ok I mean penis, for electronic dance type music.

Some of it makes me smile. And I'm a bass hooker.

When I had subs in my car though I never demoed typical music. Just things that people never knew were stupid bass like. Psudio comes to mind. From Phil Collins. It must have been at the same Hz that my car had cabin gain. It was stupid awesome.

Some peter Gabriel stuff.

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

hooker with a penis, you mean?

oh, music humor

[dem beats 1,223]

lmao

As in some of the first music that made women grind their bodies on me was electronic.

I did see it on there, but to me it comes down to being respectful to the forum.
