Re: [T3] top end problem

["Leon Martinez B." <martinezl@icanet.com.mx>]

This reminds me when I first bought my
car during the test drive and for three
months. My car's top speed was 55 hours 
an hour. Pedal pressure was only halfway.
More pressure had no affect. I had no 
aircooled experineced just 8 liter
engines and 400 dollars in gasoline bills 
every month for years
when gas was at 1.10 dollars a gallon.
Wanted a cheaper car. I thought this 
was normal for an aircooled, boy was I wrong.

After two months I drove the car with only
three cylinders and top speed went down 
to 45 miles an hour, then I decided to 
troubleshoot the engine, I found lots of 
horrible problems. Valve seat on # 3 sunk
in about a half inch. Compression terrible 
on all cyliders. After hundreds of internet
pages downloaded and several EFI books, and
you guys I determined all of the injectors very
shot .

MY problem was compression and shot injectors.
After much pain, everything corrected, top speed
tested 100 miles an hour, tested 4:30 in the morning
in one of my faster runs on the highway.

By the way I think
my suspension had that bumping noise at that time
but did not affect the drivability. I must fix my 
bearing problem before driving fast. With knowledge 
comes worry , and I am worried about my suspension.

My problems were many , and this was just two years ago.
