Great suggestion! I need to wait until the problem manifests itself again
before I start chasing a cure for a problem that's not there (at the
moment) --

Larry -
Don't worry about having to cool down the turbo unless you just came off a
hot couple of laps at the track! Under normal driving, the engine and
associated parts can tolerate immediate shutdown without special
"handling".
Glad to hear that the pre-filter looked clean - sounds like the fuel tank
and fuel are all OK.
The antenna isn't adjustable. On the '90, the tip has a chrome "button"
on
the end that keeps it from going down in the trunk tube. You may have the
wrong extendable mast - I got one from Rusty a couple months back that had
a
small diameter black plastic tip, and he then sent me the correct one
which
works OK. The wrong one had a 140 part number, which gave me a clue that
it
wasn't correct. Could be the P.O. got the wrong part?
My recommendation is to just go out and drive it for a while - you can
drive
yourself crazy by changing out hoses and parts that are still OK. I
suppose
I'm fortunate, but all the fuel hose pieces (except the injector return
hoses which I've replaced twice) on my car are the original ones, and have
lasted 221k miles - probably have jinxed it now!
Actually, I'm more concerned about the odds and ends heater/coolant hoses
that are still original on my car. Some of those look like a bear to
change! But as long as the beast starts and runs, I plan on letting it
alone.....
Werner
