New lister, new car

[Tony Hoffman]

Here are a couple of things,

The car is 217 hp stock, the Ur's were 227.

The speedo, could be a bad speed sensor in the trans, or a bad
connection in the instrument cluster. The second is a fairly common
problem.

The inner lens is only a marker, assuming stock DOT lights. There are
no fogs from the factory. Probably from a previous owner would be my
best educated guess.

When you say always on, you mean even after opening the doors? If so,
there are several possible culprits. Does it do it with all of the
doors, or only the drivers? If so, probably a bad pin switch on that
door. If it does it all of the time, I'd look into the relay for the
system. It is supposed to keep power after the key is turned off,
until a door is opened. Then, it shuts off.

The fan should run whenever the A/C compressor is on. Try the "econ"
setting, and see if it runs then.

As for the poor hot running, that could be a multitude of things.
Perhaps something simple that may even be run across while doing the
HG. Also, I'd recommend doing the front crank seal and the TB idler.

HTH,
Tony Hoffman
