Known issues:
- Electrical. Ive isolated the gremlins to the under dash harness. There are so many cuts and splices in it that it appears like a science project of third-world engineering. Most of the work began around a POs attempt to have DRL. Temperature gauge and speedometer do not work. Temp gauge never worked, speedometer died about a year ago.
- Engine. With over 230,000 miles on it, the engine leaks oil and burns a little, too. Its tired and could stand a rebuild.
- Transmission. Shifts fine, no slip, but it leaks.
- A/C. Will not hold a refrigerant charge for very long. When charged, it cools well.
