well, i was taking a girl out to walk on some nature trails and had my ride die on me. after several minutes of cussing at it, i decided to try and tap the gas tank and see if that helped(i knew it was fuel related, it would start for a second or two, then die). it did, so i drove it straight home. so i spent yesterday dropping the gas tank to check the fuel pump (luckily i was almost out of gas). turns out, i got lucky, the pump just picked up some trash and clogged the screen. so i cleaned that and then drained and cleaned the tank. i also filtered the gas that was in it. gotta love funnels and coffee filters!
needless to say, the car runs fine now. actually, it runs better than is has since i bought it. oh, and a good cavalier forum is clubcav.com |

I'm a member over at saturnfans.com so I guess I'll post up a question in s-series tech. Thanks for the suggestion... I have another thread going on over there about rebuilding/re-ringing the DOHC, things are about to get interesting for my DD. :(

Today I started hooking up an air horn on my '88 Escort so now I'll be prepared whenever people blow at me for driving too slow to suit them. I'll just give them a blast of air. Didn't get it finished though, because I didn't have the wire to do the electrical and didn't want to drive 30 miles round trip to get it when I would be in town tomorrow anyway.

Sorry to have stolen the topic... |
I've blocked the radiator to increase water temperature. It works pretty nice.
