The Old Timer Returns

The old car (87 Volvo) went in for more repairs. It's been unused for the past month waiting for this appointment. Lou got stranded while out shopping shortly after getting it back from the mechanics. They had replaced the "air mass meter" whatever that is. it still didn't run and seemed to eventually start if you wiggled the wires under the hood. It least it worked for the tow truck driver and our mechanic. In any case, they intended to replace the whole wiring harness to eliminate the problem. this would have been the third fix and I wasn't entirely convinced it wasn't time to say goodbye rather than spend the $1000 to replace the wiring harness.

Anyway, it went in the shop Tuesday and they called to say it was ready Wednesday afternoon. I was more than pleasantly surprised when the bill came to $0.00. They didn't do the rewiring. they replaced the bad, new air mass meter. It's now running was it should. Fingers now crossed though. it's nice to have it back in good health!
