so updates have been slow lately on the thread . But car has been under constant progress 


First the damn water level buzzer would not shut up , been driving me nuts . but Did Manage to find out why ! I had left something unplugged .. oops 


Then I had a small fuel leak , got that fixed asap . 


my new used trans would NOT go into reverse .. Incase someone has this issue , if you forget or by mistake the copper washer falls off while installing it . that sensor does not allow you to go into reverse . 


Added copper washer , and it cleared and Vuala I had reverse again . 



Now in the process of fixing a bad ACV solenoid or maybe just eliminating the system ... being done with it ! LOL




"smoke comment " , someone I know was complaining about howmuch smoke my car was putting out on the very first video of me driving around , just had to settle that issue .
