Value of 91 244 update, took a test drive, unimpressed

Temp not in normal range? Either there is no thermostat or the temp compensation board isn't working (most likely). If not thermostat, the engine will run rich, too.

A/C not working - if you need on (live south of Maine) get the cost before buying. That one can run high.

Pulls to right? Check the tie rods ends and ball joints. And the boots, if they are broken there may be a bad inner tie rod joint, too.

N/A cars are meant for N/A people, like me. For a little more fun, use the shifter to control upshift RPM. You'll feel the increase in the Hp curve hit in 2nd gear at 3500 to 4000 rpm.

Good Luck,

Bob
