| After messing with the car some, we got it running. We went over the entire fuel system, replaced the pump, filter, cleaned the injectors and it started up. My father and I slowly went through the car to check for any other problems. We also began fixing a couple of things...One of the major problems that the car had, was a major coolant leak. I had to put about two gallons of water in it every five minutes. Here is a partial list of the things we have worked on and fixed over the last couple of years | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
