The Monte Carlo is BACK! LSA Powered and Fresh Paint...Does it Even Run? (1972 First Gen Monte)

What happens here

After driving the Monte Carlo out of the body shop and partially onto the enclosed trailer, the car refuses to start. The creator opens the hood and attempts to start it. After initial failures, he uses a Stanley jump pack to provide power to the battery. While trying to start the car, fuel is seen leaking from a connection near the fuel rail. It's identified as a leaking fuel line. The creator also notices that the car won't start despite the jump start, suggesting a fuel pressure issue due to the leak.

Goal: Identify the cause of the starting failure and fuel leak

Tools and materials

  • Jump Pack Stanley — Providing external power to the car's battery
  • Monte Carlo — The vehicle being diagnosed for starting issues
  • Fuel — Leaking from the fuel line
