Re: My smile is back
It took awhile to sort out my FI system, but it now runs fantastically. I am particularly impressed with the low end torque and how smoothly it delivers it. A very driveable system! I personally would never change it over. Getting the injectors professionally cleaned was a key element in bringing it back. OK Injectors did a great job.

Re: My smile is back
They(OK Injectors) were a pleasure to deal with.Fast service and great communication.Thanks again for the reccomendation.Back in the summer,I was complaining to Denise about the low rpm roughness and overall slumping performance.After getting everything back together,I now realize how badly the performance had deteriorated.I know I had posted about the car going from running great to barely running.I realize now that it wasnt running 'great'

Re: My smile is back
Man I am so glad to hear you finally got all that sorted out. A Spider that good looking should also run perfect. I am heading up your way for the week Craig and had crazy thoughts of driving the Spider there? But since that's a pretty long drive for the Spider and people in your neck of the woods are talking about putting their cars up for the winter I guess I will just drive the truck. As you know us Florida people are quite wimpy when it comes to temps below 74'.
Re: My smile is back
i'm sure you could find spider owners all along the way for a breakdown support system like AAA but with much better response time and a trunkload of replacement parts to get you rolling again. cant help you with the cold weather part

Re: My smile is back
The weather here in the mountains has been really nice.The overnight lows have been upper 20's to low 30's,but it warms up pretty quickly to the 50's/60's during the day.My brother, who lives in Lantana, was here a week ago.We were in long sleeves and he was bundled up like a Eskimo! He is pretty wimpy!

Re: My smile is back
Just read this thread. Good news buddy.
But... I can't believe Denise didn't diagnose the exact problem immediately.
