an 86.....hmmm does that have a carburator? I can't think of any reason a fuel injected engine would stall on turns, unless an engine ground is very loose. It should not overheat at a drive through. Flush the coolant, repkace the thermostat, and make sure the engine cooling fan come on. GW

Oh, it was a computer. :) Nice machine! I love the new Guardian cases with the mouth on them and hope to get one sometime. :) I just lost a floppy drive in mine (I named him "Drake"). But I borrowed back my eMachines and got the floppies backed up and burned to CD so I don't need the drive anymore. My friends will be taking the eMachines back again soon. I let them have that after I built Drake. Both are pretty good machines but Drake is MUCH more powerful. :)

Ok, we drifted off topic here, I see.... LOL!

I think he means that we're talking about computers in a car newsgroup, which is kinda off topic. ;) Sometimes one strays from the topic at times.

Nice computer though...

I was told that driving it for long distances at a good rate of speed is good for the engine, because it helps clean the carbon out of it. I have a friend take mine out every so often since I can't go for too long a distance in a car myself.

Dang that was a long thread!! I just had to get rid of an 88 Celebrity (6000 clone) due to a fuel pump that went and I had no recourse. Paid $200 for it. It had over 135000 on the odometer. 2.5L TBI auto/over. The thing sounded like a sewing machine running without lube, but it got a best of

41mpg, and averaged 35+. It didn't burn a drop of oil, nor did it leak any. The AC worked like a champ and other than a tree accident from a previous owner (Hit the roof...Small dent) The body was near perfect. When I got rid of it it had 157000 on it and MAN I miss that car!
