So the last couple tanks I've gotten roughly 21mpg as opposed to the 29-31mpg I was getting only a couple weeks ago. No noticable differences in the run or drive... thoughts?

gawd I love you Kara!

AWESOME! Got my financial aide check for school finally!!!! Time to attack that STUPID windshield and get it replaced!!!! Yay!!!

The sparks are pretty new but I bought pre-gapped so I never looked at em... its an easy check so I'll do that first chance I get. Pump is good and filter is spankin new so I'm confidant its not either of those. I'll post what happens. And yeah... I go to beauty school so when I mention working on my car everyone's like What did you just say?! But you're a GIRL!!! :rollseyes:

Oops I totally suck at keeping this updated huh? Well I replaced my driver side headlight with a shiny new purty one! (Thx Rugby!!!!!) And my neighbor came over and rescued my butt from the woes of my stupid exhaust! Its still loud and my engine has an annoying tack but it doesn't sound like the love-child of a lawn mower and a helicopter anymore.. I noticed I need to get a better seal on the passenger back door.. every time I drive down a dirt road I get a mound of dirt on the floor from it seeping in.. and also the resevoir for my rear wiper fluid is shot. Leaks through the body onto the ground.. :-\ Aaaaand my windshield still leaks... but we're getting there! As for the acceleration.. someone mentioned possibly the throttle body positioning sensor. Or the vacuum lines. But here's whats going on.. I'll go to floor it and it will lug horribly.. but if I take my foot off the gas and floor it again.. or just adjust it slightly sometimes that'll do the trick. Does that sound like TBPS? I havent hardly had time to look into it.. but I figured if anyone has an idea as to where I can start that'd be helpful. I'll get pix up when I can! ( which may be never.. XD )

Aw shucks yer such a shutterbug! XD Lookin' good Tom! You and the car! Hope this one works out for ya!

I second that... pics please! Oh and welcome to the board! The search funtion is your friend... most everything you could think of has been discussed and there's tons of "know-it-all"s but in a good way, I swear. They really know it all!

Awesome! Welcome to the board! What a great find there! Utilize the search function and you'll find just about everything you need. Again welcome to the family and I look forward to seeing how this unfolds!

I honestly don't have any helpful info (except my friend and I never could figure out why his dome light wouldnt work either.. lol) ... but let's see some pix of this BRAT!

I need an oil pan plug for an EA82.

Anybody there?

Here's the catch... he WANTS to be thrown into the warm refreshing lake! And again.. I'm SO there.. Lets just hope I can find my way back to 84 alone! haha.

Niiiice

:slobber: :slobber: :slobber: :slobber: :slobber: :slobber: :slobber: :slobber: :slobber:

Awesome!!! Such a relief I'm sure! Thieves suck but you can't say these ones don't have good taste in cars... Happy for ya!

Welcome to the board! You gonna make it to WCSS13?

Definitely interested! I'll decide when we get down there.

Rugby is right. I havent heard from Twitch or Nickolai when or if they're heading down yet but there's a good chance we'll start a convoy. 81EA81 you're welcome to join. I was planning on leaving CDA around 10 unless something comes up. That would put me in Tricities around 12:30 I think. Indrid when were you thinking of heading out? I'm happy to meet up and follow... I was thinking of taking the WA side only because I've never actually driven it. And Uberoo - if you could meet us in Tri-cities that would be cool! I guess it just depends on when everyone wants to leave. I'm pretty flexible. :cool: I'll be eagerly awaiting everyone's responses.

Wow! I'm not headed to S OR but I'd be in on the HR run. Is there anywhere up there one could stay overnight for free? I'll be headed back to Idaho Monday if I do.

So then should seafoam be added before or after a fresh oil change?

I'm planning on bringing my 93 Loyale "Rook". And count me in on the voodoo donut! I'll drop some change on that if you can bring one to the show for me! I'm gonna try to get a friend of mine to grab me some bacon icecream too! Anyone want to join a caravan w/me from N Idaho? Friday morning I plan on taking I90 to 395 and I'm debating between the Washington and Oregon side thru the gorge. I'll meet up with anyone along the way.
