But i was wondering if this amount of heat could reduce that wires ability to start. If indeed this wire has anything to do with my prior starter issue. I did however, get some of thise woven cloth tubes for performance and re encased all the wires running on top of block to the coil, , </p> Kim, be thankful that you are…tag:6364cadillac.ning.com,2017-12-28:6543066:Comment:1679422017-12-28T14:41:39.443Z3ft7bqmb7dryohttps://6364cadillac.ning.com/xn/detail/u_3ft7bqmb7dryo
<p>Kim, be thankful that you are able to afford a mechanic. Several folks wrench on their own cars out of necessity. </p>

<p>Kim you didn't cop out! There is nothing wrong with having someone else look and work on the car once in awhile. I have done it when life was too busy or too many other projects on the go. Be proud of what you've accomplished so far and I get the feeling that you will be back improving this thing more in the near future. </p>

<p>I understand taking it to the shop completely! You get to the point you just want it fixed and to be able to enjoy the car! You had a lot of patience and encourage you to continue to learn as you go along. Hopefully it will be smooth sailing when you get it out of the shop! </p>

<p>well, I'm back,,,sort of,, the flu really knocked me out,, at 58, it hurts and it last, still not ready to crawl under cars or smell the grease,, just doesnt sound stimulating at this point in the recovery,, anyway, second day in, knowing i was going to be out a week or more, i said crap,, just take car to shop, let them fix a trans pan leak, the oil pump gasket leak, speedometer cable leak, and then look at the starter problem.. When i told him the symptoms,, he pretty much suggested all the potential symptoms as possible, that we have gone over and over here,, so I am hopeful, given the number of test i have told him i ran, and all the suggestions here, he should be able to quickly analyze and fix. </p>
<p>i know i copped out on it at the critical moment, but i know how long the flu takes to get through and i want ed have it done by the time i got well and get those pesky little leaks fixed. so i could go for a spin,, maybe new year night take a cruise. thanks for th al the help again,, </p> Still suffering from flu!

<p>In my work environment when I think of timing curves I think of algorithms that actually change the curve and not just when the curve is happening. </p>
