So... Sunday, on the advice of Matt Sommer (another Maryland owner) I took my car to the Silver Diner car show. Only 28 miles away. I got lost, ran out of gas and blew the dash services fuse. I'm no dummy though. I had a pace car just in case. 5 gallons, 1 10 amp fuse and 20 miles later I arrived. It was what I expected; rows of gleaming classic Caddy's, Mustangs etc, chrome and braided hoses as far as the eye could see. What I didn't expect was that my car would draw off 1/3 of the crowd just pulling into the lot. I wasn't there to show, I just wanted to look at the other cars. I didn't even get the engine shut off! As soon as I popped the door I had like 4 people snapping photos and several others ooohing and ahhing over it. I didn't know whether to be flattered or humiliated because my car is kind of fugly right now with the cracked dash, droopy headliner and cracked windshield. I locked up my valuables and left the doors open for folks to look in. My 9 year old stayed behind and answered questions as my P.R. rep. On to business: My wife said I was choking her with fumes as she rode behind me. Plus, I -drank- fuel. Too rich. No brainer there. Shallow acceleration/lack of horsepower. I was thinking this may be a lambda problem because the dwell meter is all over the road but that's just supposed to be fine-tuning for emissions. My fuel injection manual keeps pointing to the control pressure regulator for flat acceleration, but it's brand-new. I have another brand-new regulator to test with so I guess I'll start with that today. No amount of fooling with the CO screw gets me the minimum performance this car is supposed to have. At least I had fun! Rich Yahoo!
