The one time I had to tow the car home was because the DPO installed the f=
uel level sender without a gasket but used RTV instead.=C2=A0 RTV is NOT ga=
soline tolerant.=C2=A0 I globule that exuded inside the take swelled up and=
dropped off and plugged the fuel line.=C2=A0 This convenient short cut by =
the DPO cost me several hours and quite a few dollars resulting in pulling =
the tank and having it cleaned a lined.
The only other running issue I had was a loose rivet on the coil terminal.
The usual diagnostic procedures are in order.=C2=A0 1) verify spark.=C2=A0 =
2) verify fuel.=C2=A0 Note that 12.2 volts is a bit low and 11.4 is a bit l=
ow but it should be sufficient to run the engine.=C2=A0 What voltage do you=
measure whilst cranking?=C2=A0 If it stays up above 8 - 9 volts you'll be =
fine.
