Thanks to the guys at Autobahn in Peabody, MA (and Rich Towle for the strut), Blanche made her first (hopefully of many) voyages to the beach this weekend. New rotors and pads all around ensured confident stops (going is pointless if you can't stop). The hamsters under the bonnet seemed happy enough until that last 10 miles of the return, where she seemed to stutter a bit. This morning driving to work, she was fine cold, but when well warmed, she started the stutter again and I had a hard time getting to and maintaining 60mph. I'm hoping just a dirty fuel filter or that bend in the fuel line crimped a little tighter once warm - easily fixed. However, she's always been cranky when warm - I recall back in 2002 when Dave and I were driving her cross-country, she always stalled when hot. Anything else I should be checking and adjusting? Many thanks.
