I drove it home today and what a white knuckle ride that was. It steers and brakes great but it has no power going up hills. On I95 I could barely keep 45mph on the slightest incline. It smoked a little but not as much as I expected seeing how much it did when cold. One thing I noticed is if you let off on the accelerator for a few seconds, when you get back on you have more power, as if it was bogging down before. Heck, I'm just glad I didn't need to get a tow to get it home. Actually I parked it at a shopping center down the road because I don't want to annoy the neighbors with the smoke screen it puts out when start it tomorrow. I might begin with a compression test to see if anything internal is broke. I'm thinking it could also be stale fuel. From the paperwork I see it hasen't been driven for the last 3 months. I see in the clear fuel filter that the diesel looks dark blue.
