[DMCForum] Soooooo close.



I have discovered that my WOT microswitch sticks. Makes the car run
rougher when it's warm and it's just idling. 

Of course I'm still getting new injector seals but it seems that
things are "settling in" on my engine. When I put my thumb over the CO
plug hole, I actually felt a lot of vacuum this time and the car
smoothed out even more. When I took my thumb away the car stumbled and
ran a lot worse.

According to Martin & Bill's Law Of Vacuum Leaks this is a good thing.
It means I've almost got them all.

John Hervey is sending me a new otterstat. A good guy he is.

I tried to adjust my shift linkage. Still no reverse. I discovered
what' s happening though (I think). When I lift up on the stick, it
doesn't appear that that action is being transmitted to the actual
shift linkage. I have to go under my car again to work on this.
There's just one problem though. SPIDERS. Freaking spiders. My car was
nearly glued to the spot like "Gulliver's Travels" by spider webs.
Bastards. Are they poisonous? I'm about to break out the friggin'
napalm. Blech!

Ok, on to business. Many of the metal fittings in my rear fascia for
holding on such minor things as my TAIL LIGHTS and TAGS have rusted
and ripped out. I don't think I had rivnuts. I had little square
doodads with a threaded hole for the screw. Is that a rivnut? What are
my options for repair?

On the upshot, the car was running so well I took a quick putt around
the parking lot to rip up the spider webs. It steers and brakes well
so far. Won't the neighbors trip when they see it parked nose in!

Fraggin' spiders.....

Stuck in 1st gear,

Rich
