Re: ProwlerGT's 3000GT Revival Thread - Start Up
Status:
Same. Brake booster needs replacement, probable throttle body replacement, vac test to be done, reset of base idle, a/c system overhaul, fluid stuff and minor wiring issues later on, and finally perhaps one day the ignition switch (I turn the key and absolutely nothing happens about 30% of the time; no clicks, no nothing. Seems as though the car isn't "feeling" that the key is turned. Believe its the ignition switch itself unless someone tells me otherwise.)
Sidetrack:
Today I went into the garage despite the 105 heat index and since there was a breeze blowing with the doors open it actually was not that bad working in there and for once the humidity was low enough not to smother either.
The sidetrack is that my air compressor for running my air tools went friggin KA-PUT. I have maybe used this thing like 20 - 25 times in a little over 2 years and it still looks NEW in fact and now all I get is a HUMMMMM when I turn it on. I remember one night I tried turning it on and it was VERY humid out so I was wondering if that had anything to do with breaking it. I looked online a bit and saw to check the electrical contacts etc. Well I took the damn switch apart (which was a bad idea due to TIME; sprins popping out etc...) and cleaned off what I thought was oil on the contacts. Finally got the crap all back together and it still doesn't work (worse so now cause I'm not sure that I have the switch calibrated in the right positioning; if that makes sense). The remaining work I have to do can be done without the air compressor, but it sure would've been nice to have and here I've blown away about 3 hours trying to fix it. Does ANYONE have a clue about these air compressors? It is an electric 6 gallon 125 psi air compressor from Target: Durabuilt DB1552 model. I could not find JACK about it on the web. I'm gonna probably look into having it repaired, but I'm also fiddling with the idea of just getting a new one now which I DO NOT have the money for.
