Well, obviously not if I'm wanting to sell it and if you had read my
posts more carefully you wouldn't have asked because it would also have
been obvious that I would have fixed/replaced the defective item.
It's a bit hard to be in two places at once, ya know.
For example: I can't be watching the tach for an RPM drop while also
reading a voltmeter connected to the ignition module (my wife is not
mechanically inclined along with being on O2 24/7 and I do not have any
available help in my neighborhood).
Or reading a fuel pressure tester (as if I have one!) when checking RPM
drops on the tach.
Get the idea????
Now. I would appreciate it if everyone would engage brain before asking
more questions of this type.
You want more info? Read previous postings about the 89 XtremeJunker by
me ... it's all there.
As for what is not working "specifically", how about "the whole
dangblasted Renix system"?
