Or even just get an 8v gasser to put lots of miles on and drive the Quantum when you're not travelling long distance. You can probably find one in decent...
If you haven't already: change your radiator cap, fuel filter, voltage regulator, fuel pump relay, timing belt (and water pump while you are in there), and...
AAA with the long distance towing option. How old/good is your fuel pump? I'd be tempted to install a new one and carry the old one as a spare. This presumes...
Hi David, I'm in Eugene and there are 3 shops in the area that have QSWs parked out front on a daily basis: JB Engine in Eugene (Doug Drouet, 345-3952) No Name...

If parked on a daily basis, I don't know if that is a good thing or not..... ... From: Kelly Creek Ranch [mailto:cvb@...] Sent: Tuesday, February 01, 2005...
... If this is the Yurripean setup with the inboard fog lights, does that mean they require putting the turn signals somewhere else than outboard of the...
You are correct; the European assembly has the inboard H-3 fog lamps& outboard H4 main lamps. The will bolt right up, but you will have to design a blinker...
Charles, Thanks for posting this. One more piece of information for the file. The Bentley wiring diagram is incomplete in the section to which you refer: it...
Hey Chris, Can you tell me how the AC connects to the ISV circuit? I'd like to note that in my manual. I don't have the AC components in there anymore, but the...
... I'm not sure, actually, that's one of the things I'm trying to figure out. I'm pretty sure there *is* a connection, because the diagnostic procedure for...
Yeah, I would have hated to lose my starter on the highway doing 60 on my first trip home with it. I have gone through just about every nut and bolt in the...
As I recall, there is an input to the PCM (engine computer) from the A/C system. When the A/C switch is turned on, the PCM receives the A/C request input....
I'll vouch. I used to call it my turbo switch on the 85. If you switch the A/C on at idle, the RPMs will climb by about 200. Compensation for added load of...
... My tach shows 4 grand at 65 and I know it is a 5cyl tach and I also know that the speedo is very close in accuracy. Hmmmmmm Any ideas?? Clutch is good and...
... 4000 rpm at 65 sounds high to me, based both on my calculation that you quote and empirical evidence. I'll double check later today as I have to take a...
... Based on my experience, you are both correct. What I am trying to figure out is the actual wiring; specifically, which pins on the FI computer go to the...
... How bad a job was changing the engine mounts? Mine look pretty sad, and I'm thinking of putting it on the list. How did you support the engine while you...
I believe that your calculations are right and that my tach is reading wrong. I just wonder why. Your offer of the spare tach is really appreciated. I did a...
Hey Chris, Engine mounts were not bad, except for wrench access on the passenger's side mount. For the drivers side mount, I had the radiator out, so it was...
... So you have *no* condenser or receiver/drier in front of the radiator? Interesting, veeeery interesting; must keep the coolant temperature lower in the...
Chris, Right, no condensor, no rcvr/drier. I removed the condensor about half way through summer 2003. It definitely ran cooler after that. Now with the tuned...
I will try the upshift relay (today) because that little bugger keeps coming on in 5th when going 60 and up. I'll keep you posted on that one and thanks. ... ...
... Well, start by putting a MitiVac on the vacuum motor for the flap and seeing if it will move the flap and hold a vacuum. It probably won't, in which case...

It is in the cowl area. I actually bought a bunch of those switches from Scot Banks a while back. I had one off of my parts car and was playing with it, and I...
That's FI, as in fuel injection. I think Bentley actually labels it as the "OXS computer" or something like that... It's on page 97.134, along with the ISV,...
