I bought an 88 Cabriolet from a friend about a week ago. It had been sitting for about a year but after a quick charge of the battery, she fired right up and I have been driving her since. Yesterday on the way home from work she died about a block from home...Help!

Now let me run down a few thing i have observed. Here in Nor Cal its been raining quite a bit and i noticed some water down near the fuse box but nothing "had " happened. I checked the fuse for the fuel pump and it broke so i replaced it but she stil wont start. Turns over but wont start. Shes got plenty of fuel now but the day i picked her up she was very low. i didnt have any problems after that tho.

I hoping (praying) that maybe since the fuel pump fuse was removed theremight be some sort of reset switch or something. Like i said im praying for an easy fix. Im pretty sure she gettin fuel but going out now to double check.

I will be backin soon as i have to watch UCLA woop Florida tonight! Any help , I would be greatful!

Thanks in advance

If there's a reset swtich, it's usually in the trunk. Did you check all the fuses, relays, and soleniods that might have gotten wet?
