Smile My 928 is alive

Well, after seven years of sitting (three in my garage) I finally got the car to run. I did three things this time that I did not do last week. Rebuilt injectors rich@cruzinperformance.com gets an A+. They look great and were 130 dollars and some change. After installing the injectors and plugging in the sensor at the bottom of the radiator, which was not plugged in! And doing all of the tests that WallyP suggested with the 12vdc on the W2 terminal (it turned out to be o.k. but I did notice some clicking with the key in the off position twice. Loose wire? Could not get it to do it again. Tried to start the car and no luck. So we shot WD40 in the air intake and she grabbed and I was shocked! It never stalled and ran for 30 minutes before I was happy with all of the gagues. I did throw out the ehter as per John Struthers suggestion. This car is running better than both of my Volvos. No lie. I have no brakes so that will be the next task. Thank you to everyone on this board. <img src="graemlins/roflmao.gif" border="0" alt="[hiha]" />

Sounds great! Where in Michigan are you located? There are a few of us shark owners around the metro-Detroit area. <img src="graemlins/xyxwave.gif" border="0" alt="[bigbye]" />

What year is your shark....post pictures!

I am in a small town (Ellsworth) 11 miles from Charlevoix. The car is a 1982 928S manual 73,000 miles and it's white. Still have a long way to go with the brakes and putting the front end back on. Also need to repaint the front. But hope to be on the road this summer. <img src="graemlins/wave.gif" border="0" alt="[byebye]" />

Charlevoix - now that brings back memories!

Every summer in the late '70's, early '80's we would drive down from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario to catch the concerts at Castle Farms. This was back when you could bring your own beverages into the venue and sit up on the hill behind the seats.

Many a mind-altering experience while seeing The Cars, The Police, Alice Cooper, Bob Seger, Steve Miller - man, the list goes on and on...

Wow, the world is so small. You probably partied with my aunt. But anyway, I got married in the castle. In the old dairy part six years ago. It is now being renovated into a wedding facility. It went into bankrupt court after Art Ribal died and this is now it's future. My parents would not let me go to any of the concerts. I lived in Traverse City and they told me that it was too far. Yea right! I really wanted to see Def Lepord. They set the all time high attendance record and the all time low when they tried to make a come back. <img src="graemlins/yltype.gif" border="0" alt="[typing]" />

Randy, a little off-topic here, but did you ever see Mountain or Leslie West up there?? Mountain has always been "my" group but I never got the chance to see them.
