Thanks. They had tested that and apparently it was OK. They "jumped" it somehow and the car still would not start. It was funny... some days it would not start at all... some days it would idle rough, some days it would idle fine for 20 minutes, but when you gave it some gas it would start missing, then stall out, etc. New coil and its ran fine... he drove it all over today, then I drove it about 45 miles this evening when I got off of work. I dont know, I hope that was the problem... no one knew, could not find any good mechanics to check it, closest MB mechanic was 30 miles away (and would probably have charged $600), etc. LOL, one mechanic told my dad that it probably had broken the timing BELT.

I told my dad that car didnt have a timing belt. Only thing now is that there is a gas smell coming from the gas tank cap area... I guess the cap seal is bad... so bad that fumes come in the car... none under the hood, so it has to be blowing back in. Guess a new one is in order. Just wondering if an aftermarket one would be OK, of if I should purchase an OEM one here for $18.00.
