Cao's first ride

[theholycow]

I found these pictures of a car just like my first car.

The grill was gold on mine. When I had the steel wheels with the wheelcovers shown in the photos, I had whitewall tires. Eventually I got some rims with 205/55-16 tires...looked a little out-of-place but handled nice.

I miss that car.

woop de woop

TBI 4.9?

[theholycow]

TBI 4.1 V8. Plenty of torque, couldn't exceed 4000RPM.

Funky computer system too. The digital displays for fuel economy and climate control could be turned into a code reader/live data display with a few button presses.

:jester:

Yeop, 3.1 V6.

[theholycow]

I had a 3.1 fail at like 130,000 miles.

My friends had one blow a head gasket. That fuel rail was a major pain in the ass.

DFN scanner to scan pics of first rides.

Mine had fuel delivery problems on hot days narrowed it down to the way the fuel rail runs in the valley of the motor.

We replaced the fuel pressure regulator which worked for what it replaced, it helped some but not all the way. At that point, I just drove it as is. The weather was the primary dictator of how it acted like days where it was 80-above would make fuel basically "vapor lock" due to heat of motor + atmosphere temp.

When that happened, I just drove it like a manual valve bodied automatic. A little gas in neutral at stoplights, and would slowly ease into the gas while managing to put the car in drive at the same time.

That was the only problem I had with that car while owning it.
