A couple of bugs to work out

[hoppy]

Good Morning Red,

Actually getting dirty is very theraputic. I don't know why the problem shows up after some run time, especially since the water and oil temp remained at or near the thermostat. It's still to be seen if on a longer run the problem will re-occur, but I am now thinking that pushing the fuel through the mechanical pump with the electric running is going to be more effective than asking the mechanical pump to pull the fuel through everything by itself. I don't know if boosting the fuel pressure made any difference but most posters seem to think that 4 lbs. was too low.

Tomorrow I may be able to get the car up on a lift at my friends shop and look a little harder for the oil leak. Unfortunately, I am almost sure it is somewhere behind the scattershield.

I am also finding that after runing the car up to speed, hard braking is a little disappointing. I have the stock 4 wheel discs with the rears being inboard. The car only has 2600 miles total, so I doubt anything is worn out. Is there an upgraded caliper or pads I should look at? I don't think I can put much bigger rotors in the 15 inch wheels and don't have the funds right now for any big modification. None the less, I don't consider brakes to be a minor issue.

Keep smiling!
