Balderdash!

Saying goodbye to my little euro 323 tonight. Hope it goes to a good home...time will tell.

[mbonanni]

but did u drive it like a race car? Good ol' italian tune up fixed 90% of my smog problems.

Ahh the good ol' italian tuneup.

My dad is super Italian, a mechanic, and has many tricks up his sleeve to fix cars, it is insane. Most recently educated mechanics are surprised about how much he knows. Growing up in the era when cars weren't all electrical has it's perks I guess.

I learned everything I know from old school mechanics. At the same time they're the guys that say I can't do 100% of the things I want to my car. :rofl:

Sounds like a vacuum leak from something very small

So I should get out the carb cleaner and start sprayin?

Other ideas based on my limited knowledge: water still in the cooling system? The water pump did squeak a bit when I turned it by hand during the cleaning of it. Could a seal not be lubed?

Edit: FOUND IT: It was an air leak coming from the plate on the intake for the vacuum hose to the FPR.

Car is "fine" now. It runs again.
