Achieva

The lights don't come on when the key is turned to on position. It will turn over but not start. It originally got worse after the car was warmed up. It will try to run on starting fluid, so I'm guessing an intermittent short that is also on the same circuit as the fuel pump.

Otherwise a good car for the money.
