Re: it's like new!

could the initial acceleration be a faulty computer? It's essentially a new ignition system minus the coil, but the coil works because the power is there afterwards.

another oddity though is that after about 30 minutes of driving, it gets slightly weaker than when it first started, almost as if the timing is being retarded.

Oh and I'm sorry to hear your car's acting up again E-Drag.
I was told that was the cause of the looseness in the steering, but being as how its leaking quick its gonna have to be replaced either way now

Well that depends where it's leaking from. It could just need new seals. I'm not familiar with what kind of seals it uses, or what's involved because I've never had one go bad on me before though.

Re: it's like new!

Not to get off subject but a few weeks ago i was at a local restaurant and they were having an event called a "mustang roundup" pretty much all mustang drivers migrate to the restaurant's parking lot to show off their car, i wanna see a caprice round up though, both box and bubble types, i'd like it if i could get some locals around here to join in too, i would. even just a B-body roundup would be cool. just a thought

Re: it's like new!

Cool! i've always wanted a go kart. It would be sweet to see how fast i could get the thing to go. Too bad those kind of things are illegal in my area...but that doesn't stop some people
