My latest SDL adventure: Turn off car, notice smoke coming from engine compartment. Open hood and see a fire about the size of my fist on top of the engine block, near the #3 injector. Blow out the fire, let it sit for a few days, now the glow system doesn't come on and car won't start. So I hook up the block heater (first time I ever used it), warm the block, and car starts fine.

So I'm assuming that the fire had an electrical cause. So what would you assume: the relay got shorted out or something? I'll take it in this week.
