Today, I replaced some of the 30-year-old,
cracked, stock
vacuum hoses w/ones from
Lindsey Racing, and reinstalled the
reconditioned air flow meter and my '84 N/A fired right up for the first time in 3 months after it stalled in a July flood!
Not only did she rev strongly and accelerate smoothly (just like a 944 w/a rebuilt engine should); the
high-pitched noise associated w switching on the A/C, which I originally thought was a belt, or a roller issue, also disappeared.
I want to thank you all for giving me many great advice and encouragement to keep me from giving up. Now, I can get back to driving and enjoying this wonderful creation from the Big 80's!
