First off, I'd like to thank all those who have
responded with great suggestions, especially James Marriot- you were right about
the thermo fan switch/thermostat temp combinations- replaced the 80C with 87C
and it did the trick. And Sandy Duffy; thanks for the paint tips!
Now to the questions:
1.) I've recently
noticed that sometimes that when depressing the clutch pedal, it stays low to
the floor. When I pull it back up w/ my foot it stays up. The clutch
seems to be operating fine. It doesn't do this all the time.
2.) I recently remember
reading a question that was submitted to the list about a strange knock/click in
someone's daughter's 5000 that could not be identified. I checked
the archives and couldn't find it. My car has recently exhibiting similar
behavior. It sounds very similar to valve knock, but it doesn't do it when
not moving and the engine is revved through the rpm cycle- only when
driving. Nor does it happen when just coasting at any speed. The
noise did not occur when my mechanic came along for a test drive (of
course!!!) It also seems to get louder at times and at other times nothing
at all. The car came with a crazy muffler- stainless steel, 4'' pipes and
glass packed resonators. It sounds good, but I'm wondering if the noise
could be related to the exhaust somehow? A very perplexing
problem.
3.) Finally, anyone know of a wax/waxes
that a good for protecting enamel paint?
Any thoughts, comments, or suggestions would be greatly
appreciated. Sorry for the rambling.
Sincerely,
Thomas C. Turse
