I spent 4 hours putting a new starter in "ol blue" yesterday and was elated to have resurrected my ol' brick. I took the car for a 25 minute test drive - and she drove like a dream. This morning my wife took the car to work and broke down a mile from our house. My wife said she lost power and all the dashboard lights went on and the car sputtered to a stop. Luckily I was just a few minutes behind so I was able to pick her up and move the car to the side of the road by pushing. I was able to turn over the engine - my new starter works!, but the car just won't start.

My first thought is voltage regulater. But we had this replaced 6 mos ago. Any other thoughts? The connections to the starter seem fine but maybe they are causing a short.

I've put $1500 into this car in the past year and and the car is probably worth half of that at this point. This could be the end of the road for ol' blue unless I can fix this on my own.
