Nice looking car and welcome. How much did it set ya back?
a few hundred doll hairs.
Hahaha, nice. Good looking car man, welcome to the forum
thanks. it's fairly straight, but need to sort out a lot of mechanical stuff. the surging idle while warming up, the thowout bearing, (probably the trans rebuilt-dogs are pretty shot) struts, hvac panel needs attention, figure out why gorilla tape is holding the rain out of sunroof.. ha! fun stuff to do while i use it to commute.....
A possibility: a temperature sensing issue. Crud in the cooling system can be a contributing factor to faulty temperature reading. Does the coolant look rusty or brown colored? Your cooling system might need a good flushing.Quote:
