Luckily I moved over, braked, and held the horn down. I was beside him and he just started coming over. On a side note an old fart in a small pickup tried to run me off the road. If the car had been parking in a garage or shade I'm sure the A/C would have been sufficient.Īfter a half hour of in town driving the car started to get cooled off a bit. I might see about a recharge, or maybe the A/C is working as well as expected. It took a long time get start to get cool inside the car. The A/C which had felt quite cold before no longer feels so cold. Turned on the A/C and rolled down the windows. Today I drove the car after it sat in the sun. Is that connector up under the dash at top of the brake pedal? If so, it's going to be a bugger to find it and unplug it. I'm also going over all the vacuum lines but they all still look new and in great shape. Also, I need to check the air filter and plugs. It sits with a short drive or two almost every day but perhaps needs more running. I mean I took a long drive a few weeks ago and it was fine. The temp gauge does go up quite quickly, so I have to assume the thermostat is working ok. I have to do a longer run to test but it might go back to normal when the engine is fully warmed. Last night on a short run the idle was high again. The brake pedal makes the brake lights go on so that's working. Well the clutch pedal has to be pressed in order to start the car so I'm pretty sure that's working. or they are different connectors and you can completely disregard that. It could've been possible that someone swapped the connectors. The reason I told you to remove the brake switch in addition to the clutch switch is because I can't remember if the connectors can be interchanged or not. Thinking about new tires and an oil change very soon. Shame they didn't leave it in place, however at least I got what looks like a loud alarm siren if I do want to hookup an alarm. I can see where some wires were cut where presumably the alarm lived. IDed something under the hood which I'd wonered about. Good excuse to hit the twisties on a sunny weekday next week. Of course in my back home testing it idled perfectly. I unscrewed just past where the throttle contacts it. I figured maybe it's set just on the edge. When I got home, just for the hell of it I decided to see if the throttle screw stop made any difference. I move around a few connectors on sensors, nothing seemed to change it. Once, after the fan kicked it, the idle went down to normal. The high idle in neutral problem only happened a few times. The other problem is, I read that I should allow 300-400 miles of city style driving to properly break in the clutch.Well I just took a test ride. My question is: Now that it seems the free play of the clutch pedal is non existent, is there any problems with this? I was thinking it might be similar to riding the clutch? I loosened the locknut and shortened the rod length towards the firewall to bring the pedal engagement up slightly. I noticed the rod that connects the pedal to the hydraulics had an adjustment. The only thing is, when I got the car back, the clutch pedal engages just slightly off the carpet. I'm sure I'll get used to the heavy pedal. I see why the stainless clutch line was required. I knew to expect a heavier pedal, but now it almost feels like the old mechanical clutch I used to drive. So I just got my 285ft/lbs ACT Clutch from Corksport installed today.
