Continuing saga for Roush 511

[RodKnock]

Why not talk to a lawyer and have all three of you possibly hire an attorney who understands the circumstances?

I don't want to throw Jamo into the fire, but maybe he could recommend someone to speak to at least. Maybe create a letter, that requires action on Roush's part, to Jack Roush or other principals within the organization.



That would be the higher level that comes to my mind.

Getting lawyers involved means I would never be able to be a Roush customer again. That is not what I want. My engine runs, it just does not run well.

As for shipping to someone else:

There are lots of people that purport to know about the Accel DFI system, but I send them things and they all come back with exactly the same checklist I got from Roush that so far has not worked. There is noone in the Denver Metro area that will work on it. Roush can't point me to anyone either. So bottom line is I'm not going to spend 2500 or 3000 shipping the car to someone only to find out that they end up exactly where I'm at today. If it goes to Roush I have some feeling that it will be resolved by the people who know the Accel DFI system in this exact application.

One of the things that Todd told me that it could in fact be the Accel DFI controller, and if so that I should consider swapping the whole unit for their newer one. This would put a cap on the costs. If it looks like it'll take more time (Time == Money) than swapping, I'll swap.

(I even went to a local tuner that attempted to adjust the fuel map, but now I am positive that these adjustments are merely masking the problem and not solving it.)

And when Walt Hane shrugs his shoulders and told me "send it back to Roush" I should have listened. He said that a year ago... Unfortunately I didn't listen then...

Update - Roush jsut emailed me the tracking numbers for the Flywheel and another new starter they are overnighting to the shop. The Roush engineer is also wondering if possibly the lakewood bellhousing had the holes for the starter out of alignment.

Either way, the flywheel and new starter are on their way. I appreciate Roush stepping it up to get what my car needs to get back on the road.

I know there are those of you that think I am crazy, but I have no intention of moving my car to a differnt shop. I have faith in Charlie and Hot Rods by Dean that they will get this fixed and they are not the cause of the problems I have had with this motor.

Ron that's great news and I agree with keeping put at your shop.
