Barry what ever happened to the car you bought that had the problem of stalling every so often? Did you locate the problem?[/QUOTE]

The main electronic control module (ecm) was heating up and dropping out.. As soon as it cooled down a little the car would run for quite awhile then repeat.

I also found it hard to think properly when it is cold where I am working years ago. For a long time now I just refuse to do it. If the car is in a heated space I am more than willing to tackle it. Necessity and my age do play into it of course.

I am also purchasing a string of used cars for resale as the warmer weather approaches. Gotten some really nice ones so far. . Car auction prices are still remaining low. Although did not buy even one last week.

You have to be very careful and I only try to buy low milage cars. To add to the mysery the cars have to be selected on the basis of what will sell easily. Not what I like myself in many instances.

I do not know where you live but the cost of living has been rising fast here. Safest way I could put some money at work getting a good return at this point in time. I just will let my wife drive one at a time until it sells. Most people will buy a used car from a nice older lady.

As you are now only too well aware a good working pressure gauge is a good trouble shooting tool. At least the car is now serviceable. The frustration is now past. Let us know how the adventure with the turbo injection pump works out.
