no ive been messing with the car trying to figure out whats wrong and im pretty sure the fuel pumps out its just been so cold i cant really work on it cuz by the time i get off work its dark out. but i just had the key in the on position and smelled the electric burning smell and it was coming from the computer where one of the chips was hot as hell. just wondering if thats from the computer being messed up or if its something else causing that?
