OK, i skipped school part of the morning and went out to the garage. At start up, the pressures were normal (3 PSI w/o the e-pump and then 6 with the e-pump). On the road, they were as they had been before the 9PSI fiasco....no more elevated pressures....all as it had been in the years before. Drove the car to work...steady 6 PSI with the e-pump, tho', as before, dropping to 3 PSI under load without it. Interestingly, when I shut the car off, the gauge read 8 PSI. Since I don't seem to have the problem I had on Sunday (going to 9 PSI), I"ll con't to drive the car and see how it goes. Seems like a bad idea to remove the mechanical pump for no good reason...might save my butt if the e-pump ever failed. Any other thoughts? thanx steve
