| ... skip a beat or two. Sorry, but she's not for sale {black}:sweaty: Anyway, with the car sitting on a dealer lot in the PNW for that long without really being driven (had 71 miles on it when I took possession, and a solid chunk of those were from the salesman driving it to the airport to pick me up), what are some things I need to look out for? With the car being an FCA Jeep, what are some things I need to look out for? 😆 😆 😥 In the 19 months I've had it I have put 36k miles on the odo and am now in a situation where I have to put new tires on it ... | |||||
| 98 Mustang Cobra stalls with AC running, when stopping at red light or sitting at light. | 10Relevance | 5 years ago | cfreshman1748 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hello! I recently had my car serviced at a shop to fix the ac. Now the A/C blows cold, compressor was replaced, but when I stop at a light or sit at a stop light, the engine putters and dies. It is a manual transmission, so when I downshift, it also idles low and has died while moving...It restarts immediately though. The engine only does this when I turn the A/C on though, and when it is off, it has no effect on the engine, and the car runs great. I have checked the cleanliness of the throttle body, and the air filter, both of which are clean. I have been told that the previous owner had the car tuned with a BAMA tune. Any ideas or suggestions would be very helpful. | |||||

| Yeah that’s pretty much what I figure. Luckily it’s in Oklahoma and it’s not too humid there so it shouldn’t be completely rotted out in any way. It’s just the oldest car that I will have worked on and I would hate to miss something simple and ruin the car. I’m planning to do a full fluid change and most likely not even run it off the tank until I get it cleaned very well, or Atleast run two fuel filters into the line somewhere to be double safe. I’m a little more curious about the supercharger as I’ve never had any car with a turbo or supercharger and only know as much as I can learn on YouTube. The VVG vidjya is a good one! I’ve been binge watching his revivals and others to freshen up on things to look for and how to do it! I’m very excited to start this project and I’m planning on documenting it for YouTube’s as there’s not many videos about the super coupe besides mint ones that guys are just loving on the whole time. | |||||
| Answer to: Restoring a crashed 06 Pontiac Solstice which has been sitting for a while | 10Relevance | 5 years ago | Glen_stet | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Well, if you want to restore it as a hobby, you can go ahead. But think about this - 7 years ago the insurance company calculated that it would cost more money to fix the car than the car would end up being worth (and this is a big port of their business, they know what they were doing). 7 YEARS. The only way I could see this working without you getting hammered on costs would be for you to buy a parts car with a bad engine but good front sheet metal and combine the two. If I were you, I'd sell the parts from the Solstice and look for a running/driving Honda Del Sol or Miata, where you could have fun and drive it to the parts store and gradually get it in good condition (and could be worth enough to pay for the parts and polish you put into it). But that's just my opinion, though based on seeing a lot of abandoned half-finished fix/restorations | |||||
| Answer to: Risk: buying new car sitting on lot for 1.5 year | 10Relevance | 1 year ago | avalon04 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I would be concerned with: 1. Change the oil and oil filter 2. Check the integrity of the tires as they may have developed flat spots 3. The fuel system may need to be drained and flushed as old gasoline especially in the fuel lines can become gummed up potentially clogging the fuel lines and fuel injectors. 4. Not sure about the seals as I would think that they mostly suffer damage/deterioration as a result of exposure to heat and pressure as the engine operates, vibration, and from contaminates in the oil as a result of combustion. Otherwise it seems that they have existed in a protected environment in this new engine. 5. Test the brake fluid for moisture content with a brake fluid tester or test strips. These are some observations from a novice DIYer, not an an experienced mechanic. 😉 | |||||
