Title: looking for somebody for some electrical repair work Post by: Sock Rocker on December 15, 2008, 03:35:40 pm Hi everyone I'm having some problems with my 3800 s/c and was wondering If anybody could recommend a good mechanic? Title: Re: looking for somebody for some electrical repair work Post by: 2ML67 on December 15, 2008, 05:07:54 pm Most mechanics and garages won't touch a modified car like a 3800SC Fiero unless you know them or they have worked on one before.
If you want to bring your car down to my place I can help you out or tell me what is wrong and I might be able to tell you how to fix it your self.

Must resist the urge to post........................... :D Sorry Dan :-* Title: Re: looking for somebody for some electrical repair work Post by: Sock Rocker on December 16, 2008, 12:55:52 pm Well the car has spark and fuel but the injectors aren't firing i think and this problem has been intermittent for some time now and it decided to just stop working. As for working on it myself i don't have the time and It's sitting in a heated garage because the car has water all through the cooling system so i basically Just need somebody who is willing to take the car fix it and flush the cooling system so it can be stored for the winter :P.

Leaving it with just water in the system is just asking for trouble. It takes no time at all for a small passage or hose to freeze. Dan's garage isn't a spa. ::) Title: Re: looking for somebody for some electrical repair work Post by: 2ML67 on January 03, 2009, 10:02:35 pm I would have to agree with Gary, chances are some thing will freeze up just on the trip down here. Drain the water, I can always fill the cooling system while I am working on your car.
Unfortunately I have been late working in the garage so I have not found the time to call your dad yet, hopefully I willhave some time tomorrow.

Freeze damage will occur overnight.

Just drain all the water and bring along two jugs of prestone and I will fill and burb the cooling system while your car is here. Dan |
