Morning Peter,
1) Charged the battery (with a extrenal battery charger). Car start up.
2) Turn on head lights, just to see what happened. No drop in intensity.
3) Switched engine off. Switch on. NO problem. Strange. Windows,
sunroof, seats, headrests all operating.
4) Voltmeter accross the battery. 13.5+ volts. Rev the engine to 2500 RPM.
Voltage, 14.5+ volts. Assume alternator is charging. Every thing seems
to be working. Car starts up time after time. Cold and hot. Runs very
good.
5) My friend Thomas (a gas cars mechanic) is with me all this time. He has
no clue what happened, when the car died. He thinks it might be a bad
alternator cable contact. He has seen this in a car before. So next
weekend project, is check the laternators cables and connections.
6) Next weekend I would like to chnge the engine oil.
a) Which engine oil should I use?
b) Is the oill filter under the exhaust manifold?
7) There are several fuel lines that are leaking. Some are caramel color.
Others are black pastic. Others are black ruber, covered with a mesh.
And others are just plain fuel ruber lines. Should I use such a mix, or
can I use a clear vinyl line for all? Or what should I use?
Thanks,
Demi
