    Engine will fire, wont stay running - Nov 5, 2004

    Well lets see if I can recap all from today... I spoke with a man about "the problem". He said it sounds like the IAC. He is going to meet me in the morning to look over it. He suggested I try to give it lots of gas upon start up and see if i can get it to stay on... I did as he instructed...

    Overheating, Leaking, In the Shop Now...

    Alright, so my 91 XLT has been acting up lately. I noticed a little while back that she would get warm, so I added coolant/water to the dry resevoir. No big deal, probably a small leak... I checked the resevoir consistently after that. Not really any more leaking. No more heating up, so more...

    Mazda3 or Mazda6

    I like the looks of the 6, but was at the Auto show today and sat in a 3. It was nice. Fully loaded with GPS navigation and all the bells and whistles for only about 20,000. Not too bad... --?Bryan

    I like the new tail light paint a lot better than the first! Good job! And I think those decals look pretty nice. A slight touch of "cheese factor" but still cool none the less... Greatlooking truck man. --Bryan
