[DMCForum] Re: Rich's latest problems...



Interesting to know. 

Nope..the otterstat is upside down as it should be. I'll slap a
multimeter on it and see if it "shorts" when it hits the trip temp.

I had my idle regulator in backwards (duh). Well..maybe not "duh". The
dang thing HAS what looks like an arrow on the bottom but it ain't right.

As soon as I turned it around, the car began to behave -much- better.
As better as you can get for 6 leaky seals. My oil dummy light wire
has a crappy connection. The light flickers sometimes but I wiggled
the wire and proved what was happening. Freaked me out at first. The
oil pressure gauge is off the scale. It's not shorted though because
it indicates no pressure when the key is in pos II. In only ramps up
where there actually is oil pressure. Must be that 20w50 combined with
a crappy sender unit. Anyone else experience this?

I never was able to get any air from the top of the radiator. Only
liquid. I guess that's good. I didn't break the plastic barb. That's
very good.

Next question:

The car, at irregular intervals "sneezes" tiny little back fires
through the air-flow sensor. Just a sharp little "chuh". Is this a
product of vacuum leaks? Especially ones that intake at irregular flow
rates? The car appears to have better power as I install things
correctly, and find vacuum leaks. Better and better. HOT though.

Next: fuel filter, brake lights, shift linkage adjustment. (can't get
her into reverse.)

should be.  If the electrical connectors are facing skyward, then an
air bubble can get trapped there in the pipe, and the otterstat won't
kick over.
