Hello,
I need some help, I finally fixed all my vacuum leaks, the car idles fine, have a Hot Spark installed, and timing seems to be OK. Today I drove the car a bit and after a while the temp gauge indicated that the car is running hot, the needle moved over the P of TEMP before I decided to stop and take a break. After 30 minutes I started the car again and drive immediately home, needle again indicated that the car is running to hot. Before I fixed all vaccum leaks the car was running like ... but the temp stayed consistent in the middle, so I assume the gauge is fine. What to check, the knob on the ECU is already all the way to rich. - Juergen |

it's been sitting for a while.... any mouse houses in the tin? No mice in the tin, we have cats around the house (not ours) and the garage is always closed, I believe it's something technical and it started after installing the Hot Spark. I don't want to switch back to points, the car idles really fine when warm now, not as previous with 1600 RPM. Also have a new engine wiring harness from Jeff Bowlsby installed, all new vacuum hoses. What else can make the car run hot and nearly into the red? |
