Curious how your post pertains to this thread

$1k per 3k miles? I'll bite

How many miles have you put on the car?

How long have you owned it?

What have you replaced?

How much much money invested?

it's been in the family since 1999 and in that time it's accumulated 40,xxx miles. In the last two years i've had to replace injectors, for the second time, and the ac system. I haven't driven the car much the last few years, under 1000 miles this year i'm sure but I suppose doing 130 with the ac on was probably a bad idea.

I'm fairly sure that our ECM's, or maybe any C4 ECM, shuts off the A/C if the rpm's get even close to 4k. I swear I remember reading that in the regular owner's manual. I know my 72 LT-1 had it in the owner's manual in big block letters about the compressor and high rpm's, and when I read it in our owner's manual I though well that's one benefit of electronic engine management. LOL I don't have to remember to shut off the A/C if I jump on the throttle.


My permagrin is when I'm walking into the garage and seeing Her under Her cover, I think "I own this car!" and I have to smile.
Then when I'm just about to turn the key to "ON", I look around the interior and think ..."Jez, I really do own this car!".....either She is mine, or the person that owns Her hasn't caught me yet!?!
