Think my Lift pump is gone... . I'm getting 6 - 8 psi at idle and 0 under light throttle. Trying to take it easy on the old girl...
 
Andy, sorry to hear your lift pump is misbehaving. Don't wait to fix it, the injector pump needs flow for cooling! Get a replacement ASAP!!!



Now Timster... ... I get accused of jokes that are out there, but playing on "fix your brake" --> "fix your BREAK" is just stretching it a little too far, especially when you go using high falluting words like "preemptive"... how are we to know that you refer to fixing a brake before it is broken rather than fixing a brake before it gets pregnant?



Oh I got a dog

And her name is 'Brake'

Gotta get her spaid

Before puppies she makes



She's a good, good girl

But she's been to the lake

With a stud named 'Spot'

And oh' puppies they'll make



... ...
 
.....

So loan me the shop

And cut me some slack

Gotta fix my Brake

And get rid of a Spot



... . not bad for a droll piece of doggerel
 
Mike, to say it in a few words. .

And thanks guys last night for welcomming my nephew Neil into the group.
