Well I just finished buttoning up the B, after working on her, in my spare time, most of the week, New plugs/wires, distributer cap/rotor, thermostat/upper radiator hose, fuel pressure regulator and Map sensor. Now we will see what the test ride tomorrow brings. The issue I had the last 2 times I drove it happened w/in a half hour to 45 minutes of hitting the road. Others have mentioned bad gas,, both tanks were pretty close to full when I got it and who knows how long it was since he last drove it. Plugged catalytic converter, vapor lock... I just hope it's taken care of. The up side of doing the work myself is the money I saved on labor, I can only imagine mechanics are not thrilled to do what I did and I can only imagine that it would take a minimum of a day to do and with the going shop rates $$$$$$$. Well we shall see.
Oh, and it started right up after all the stuff I disconnected and...

Re: She lives
Took her for a 1 hour drive today and none of the issues of the last 2 drives, looks like all is well.
