Deliverance

If Mike had told me the Sunfire needed a new $400 or $500 fuel pump, I would have believed him.
Yesterday in the process of trying to start the car, the CAA guy and I ran the battery down. This morning Mike began by recharging it. After that the engine started, no problem. The gas tank was terribly low, so he theorizes some water got into the fuel pump and froze. He put in some gas line antifreeze. He offered to keep the car on the lot and try to start it again in the morning, but I opted to take the risk so I can drive to Toronto this afternoon. Running errands around town just now, the car started three times without hesitation.
The total bill was $44.66. This is the second time in six months Michael's Automotive Service has spared me an expensive repair.
