Mememe!

[Sabre]

In like Flynn!

[Raven]

I'll probably be in.

[Raven]

Definitely in and Chris is going to come out too! :D

So it turns out the problem with the caprice was the EGR valve opening too fast. I installed a EGR block off plate as the first step of my fuel injection conversion and took it for a drive to test for vacuum leaks and it ran great. Shelving that project for a time when I have more money and doing more pressing issues, like painting the rust. Fixed the water leak in the cabin over the weekend.

Glad to hear that it was something "relatively" simple. It's nice to stumble upon fixes even when they are not intended. Let's hope the running great continues!

Water from the AC condensation hose? Had that problem with my 96. Had to pull up the carpet in the front right and spray it all down for mold... PITA.

Very happy to hear it's working great!!!

No, rain water in the cabin. I've been battling it with water absorbing kitty litter. The car needed some sealant around the lid of the heater box. It should be fixed now, but I'll need to wait for the next big rain storm to be sure.

Well, tonight is the night for rain. Hope you stay dry.
When I had my watermelon episode, I had about half an inch of water in the footwell. Got most of it up with towels and whatnot, but the carpet and sound absorber were killing me. I plugged a de-humidifier into an extension cord and ran it with the windows shut overnight. Dry in the morning.
