To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Monday, April 2, 2012, 1:43 PM Maybe I am going about this gremlin problem the wrong way. Maybe I need embrace him and celebrate him and make him comfy ratherthan try to banish him. I haven't driven Donner much in months. I was working on him before the accident. Friends came over 2weekends ago to help with the last part of his mini-overhaul. We did have to honk the horn to get him started. (So now I have witnesses that aren't related to me.). But other than that he hasbeen doing well on test drives around my neighborhood and town. Today I drove to a doctor appointment in Austin (so 45 miles) andhe was perfect. After the appointment he started fine. At the first traffic light he died and wouldn't start until I honked the horn and then less than a mile later he cut off while I am driving and wouldn't start until I honked the horn. I am having a feeling it is going to be a long crazy 48 mile drive home tonight in Austin traffic. Maybe if I spoil the gremlin with chocolate cake maybe I will get home with no problem? One of you nice folks looked up the wiring chart for a '71 and said to check out fuse #10. Well it was loose and I havetightened it. I was hoping that that was the magic solution. But now it does not seem to be.The stalling problem does not have to do with an intake leak. It has to be a strange electrical quirk. I don't mind honking the horn to get it started but I do mind the shutting off while driving. A couple times when this has happened if I honk the horn in time the engine comes back to life. Maybe beer for a gremlin? I am not making this stuff up!
