Thank you. Saved me allot of time and will concentrate on the CCRM, FIRST I will need to look up what that is….lol. Thanks again for the help. Bob

Thank you for your response and will do as mentioned…again thank you

After 10 minutes of driving and I stop the car, it will not fire back up. It turns over fine, but seems to get no gas. All I can offer is this, with hood open engine is throwing off more heat that normal, allot more and radiator is untouchable, due to the heat. After the car sits awhile and...

Hey guys, looking for a little help in identifying my current issue. I have just picked it up from having the interior re done. I drove it 10 minutes home and it quit just as I was pulling into the driveway. I tried to restart and it turned over fine, but acted like it was not getting gas to...

Will do….thank you

Huge thanks….coolant flush will do, Ford Gold Coolant because it lasts longer, also pick up a Reisch 170* Thermostat….big help, will do this next. The car is not being set up for track or racing, but want it ready, in case…….another 73 year old wants to beat me off the stop light….lol

Okay, did I mention I am completely ignorant about cars and just starting to get into details, what is a Reisch 170* and a killer chiller, what does that do for an engine and while I got your ear, what foes it mean when someone uses the term PO and the boost of whatever. Really appreciate the...

When people talk about boost or something PO, what are these terms meaning? Do you mind if I bounce things off of you, I am a newbie and there is so much to digest, like the guy discussing a certain thermostat and cooling reservoirs for the radiator? Thanks Bob

I did not realize how much you can do to a car and with me being a complete novice, it looks like you have a great grasp on what you are doing. I had a cooling question I have just put on line. Perhaps I should check the thermostat. I have seen the reservoir you mentioned, what does that do to...

I have been rebuilding a 98 Cobra and have noticed the engine to become very warm. I have not tested temperature or would not know what to use. My radiator looks stock and perhaps I should replace it for being so old and get the new aluminum ones with the fans, they come one or two fans. Can...

Thank you, pics do not do them justice. Now that I know where to post pics, will do more. But now, My Mercedes SL500 (2006) appears to have the ABS Actuator has decided to go out. hmmmmm, means maybe $4,000. I wish they would go back and make cars simple, every time something breaks down, it’s...

A few pics of progress

Thank you for the reply. It seems everyone agrees, that you need to put in another gear like 5th, then slide into reverse, then there is no more grinding. It must be a quirk with this model. ‘’But, thanks for the response….. Bob

Pics coming. My new problem after having clutch, bearing, fly wheel done, it goes into 1-5 great, but sounds like I am grinding major meat trying to go into reverse. Any ideas, the shop said I need a new peddle assembly, as they feel some slack in clutch peddle. He says replacing the whole...
