Swapping a 500e subframe into the 87 wagon is one of the more pointless
things I have done, but the old one is out and I am building up the new

With jobs, I like to say it isnt so much what they pay you as it is what

Similarly with health insurance, the cost is only half of what you should

Yes it has that cold start feature. It still seems to work as it should.
Pretty much every indy uses Marc for this stuff. I am not going to pull it
myself so I just left it at the indy to sort out with Marc how to diagnose
and fix it.

Hmmm. Didnt think of that. Seems plausible. To me it seems electrical but
could be the valve body I suppose also.

Thanks all. I found a new old stock one in Houston. Now just need to order
the external fuse kit.
I can't believe I drove it this long without having this problem, or even
knowing about this problem. I used the AC lots in DC; less here so it is

Problem is the whole fuse block is toast. Fully melted. I need a new one.
Plus the external fuse. And they are nla. Sedan and wagon are identical.
Anybody have one from a parts car?

Wilton I got a message about Soma but I wasnt sure what it was in reference

freeway speeds. His truck would only go 45mph, so that's how fast we

Some dude was oohing and aching over my 85 wagon at the bakery this

He said something like "your wagon is spectacular", which of course it
isnt. I told him all the value is in the stuff you cant see. (Well, it does

Yah some dude went off telling me how turbo rotating assemblies dont need

dont need to be balanced because these "aren't race cars going 7000rpm". I
