evening Gents,
Congrats on the 50K millstone, oops Milestone!!!!!
Thought we would have "Pusha" the 911 (as in that's the only way she has moved for two years) actually moving under her own steam today, had planned to take her for a run up the highway (with dealer plates no rego atm) but she wouldn't play the game, started vrooooommm, then die, started vrooooom then die, just wouldn't idle, wouldn't keep running, checked fuel pressures iaw the manual, no problems there, checked everything we could think of, but bugger me, she just won't keep going, something wrong somewhere.
This is after getting the engine in and finding that it had no oil pressure, shut her down fast, started diagnosing and found that the internal oil thermostadt was rotated 180 degrees, wtf, lucky we didn't keep her running, the engine was supposed to have been fully reconditioned, cost enough, apparently they had some dh put it together. So not looking forward to working out what is wrong with the fuel feed. Hubby not happy, actually hubby really pi55ed off, don't know what he is *****ing about, I paid for the engine!!!!! Anyhow, sitting back watching rugby now, home not thinking about car fuel problems.... yeah right!!!!!!!!!!!!!
