Need a little help...leaky IP...tried ATF...now no start.

Well if I only had a test light...haha. I only have a digital multimeter.

Anyway I'll keep all that stuff in mind. My biggest concern is the leaky IP.  It drips a fair amount of fuel.  I don't need to sweat it though b/c this car isn't currenly my DD.  I may also be pulling the driveline to drop into another car I'm looking at thats a gasser with a bad tranny.  Pulling the IP to reseal it while pulling the motor would make the most sense to me.  I like keeping back up cars so as the car sits right now, it's drivable in a pinch even with the leaky IP.  It's certainly not drivable if the IP is off the car.

I'm trying to decide if the IP reseal is something I want to try and tackle myself or if I want to have someone else do it.

You can the meter instead of a light. Use the ohmmeter to check resistance. They should test out with no or low ohms.
The leak's gonna make a bit hard to start also, depending how bad it is and where.

Ah yes...that makes sense about the resistance.

As far as starting goes, it has not had any trouble starting even with the leak in it.  It's just a decent size drip every 2-3 seconds.  Not enough to really effect the function of the pump, but enough to make a decent size puddle in a few minutes and stink up the car when driving.
