Not exactly today...but over the weekend. I affixed my new registration stickers after the van being expired for over a year!! I would crank it and drive around the block and do this and that to it, but this time got it out on the freeway. shift yay May have to work out some flat spots on the tires. I replaced the dash a few months ago and during the drive the speedo was clicky and bouncy...gotta check that out. Also noticed it's running a little on the warm side and I need to troubleshoot that. Slowly getting her back on the road. grin

Also...attempted to reseal the roof vent. Did it a few years ago and noticed it's leaking again. curse Now my paneling near the vent is warped and wrinkled. cry

Well, today I did the following:

Wolf Den: Looked at her and SMILED because she is is all tucked in for her winters nap.

Astro: BROKE HER ! mad Now I have to figure out what is wrong with her! grrrr

She ALMOST over heated today while sitting and idling , did not over heat, but did hit the YELLOW section of her factory temp gauge, Shut her down and let her cool off. Went out and drove her, she is stumbling and has no power to speak of until about 3500 or so (guess, no tack), then she smoothes out some. I have checked her over and found ONE plug wire kind of singed, NO milk shake in oil or radiator. No sweet smells from tail pipe. . . . . . thinking the coil might be pissed off and dying as it is the factory one with 200K miles on it.

van van * * EDIT * * van van

I THINK I found the problem with the Astro, The drivers side front plug wire was/is burned through, arcing out bad, and the coil is 200 K Miles old, so in the AM I am going to go to Advance Auto Parts and warranty out the plug wire, and purchase a new coil ( just to be safe) . pretty sure that will fix her.
