OK, so it's been awhile since I've been able to get it together to pay attention to the list again. Didnt have a computer for a while, had a big exhausting job, blah blah. So here's a couple issues: 1) Run-on. My FI engine is running on. More and more lately. Have not checked the timing yet (left my tools in DC, DOH!) but plan to. Main power relay switch is turning off when I turn the key off, so it's weird. Run-on is inconsistent, sometimes none, sometimes as many as NINE (that's a record!) turn-overs. Lots of stop and go seems for some reason to be related to run-on but that may be coincidental. Filling the car with 89 Octane, Jim. 2) Brakes. Before I went to DC, right wheel was squeaking. Turned out to be the front wheel. Brake pads completely eaten through on one side. a) Turns out I have earlier model front brake calipers. And a frozen (or at least just barely moving) piston on the right side. What's the solution to that? Remember, Jim, how I told you I noticed it pitching to the left when I hit the brakes. It was hard to tell. 3) Water problems not solved. During a heavy DC thunderstorm, the now extensively (read: expensively) repaired leaks I had fixed were to no avail as water poured in from the tubes leading from the fresh air box. Now this must mean two things: A) my drainage hole is plugged, and B) wouldnt the fresh air box have to FILL with water before it could reach those tubes? Also still gettting some moisture in the back, noticed my new fiber mat was damp. ARRGGH!!! 4) Greg, send me an email (lost your address). 5) please note my new email address.
