Hello everybody,
Obviously I'm new to the "club"...I like that. After cruising around the site for a few days, I have to say that this has to be the best club site I've seen. So many people willing to help others and share their knowledge, and for the pleasure and kindness of just doing so...this is awesome. I just want to say thanks for being here.
I have a 1995 Bonneville SSEi with the Supercharged 3800 V6.
In many ways I'm impressed with this car, and in others I am not. This thing can be a pain to work on, and then other times its nice to tinker. I just finished changing the water pump on it...holly cow what a job! I have never had to take off so many things (and not easily for a couple of them) to get to a water pump, but this site helped me through the last little bump which was to get the power steering pump out of the way in order to get the bracket out of the way in order to get to the last water pump bolt...told you it was a lot of stuff...hahaha! Of course now it won't start...figures! Fuel issue I'm sure since I'm getting spark.
Anyways, this is just my intro...my name is Dutch, and I hope to learn more and even contribute if and when I can.
Thanks again for having such a great site and "club".

FWIW??? 
I hope this is not something I should know because I live in Fresno...I'm originally from Los Angeles.

Hi, dutch
Try reseting computer first. If that didn't work. Might want to check your cam sensor out mine wouldn't start either replaced that and now it starts.
