This is really bad. I woke up sick today and I've been trying to shake it off. I guess if I wake up beat up again tomorrow I'll drink a monster with vitamins, ginseng pills and sudafed.
Maybe it was the attic's fiberglass (yes I wore a mask). |

It was a great run. Regis had a great time, I'm surprised he has not posted
yet. Like everything in life, we had few pimples (cyclists and the burgundy foreigner). I had the need to keep on driving and ended up at the Sequoia National Park. Few attractions were closed due to the winter season but, will re-open in May 14th. I'd like to say thank you to all for showing up. I'm looking forward next run. Metallica still playing at Sirius 27 until next Saturday and made the trip extremely "head bangin'" This is the best I can get this LT1. 22 MPG. Funny, a C6 Z06 with a 427 gives 25-29 MPG Ted's (95ZR1) LT5. Nice ZR1 Ted!! First stop after the Rock Store. I had a verbal encounter with a cyclist. Cyclist |

Now, please look, and read this. nOObs don't start a new thread. When it's below freezing and the oil temp is below 32 F this is how the oil temp is displayed. There is oil and oil pressure and you dont need to run to your PC and start a new thread. |

Thanks for the pics. Wish I would have been there, but I was able to catch up on work, and all I have left now is a nagging cough about once an hour or so. |

Great Pictures of Sequoia National Park, Pete. Really enjoyed the run. Had to go back and tighten some screws that came loose after that last road, and even found a couple of w/s fasteners on the floor.

The reason I missed the run
I now have a daily driver again. The thing drove like a three legged dog and got so slow I was ashamed to take it on the streets.
With the new cats it now runs like a banshee. BIG difference. Runs cooler and gas mileage is right up there. I'm ready for the next Bomber Run. |

^^^ you would have probably broke down...I been in cars that were so plugged, that as soon as it got warmed up, the remaining few open honeycomb cells blocked off during heat expansion.
The tow would have been more than the repair. |

The car has 87,000 miles on it. It passed smog just last year with 82,000 miles. I experimented with various grades of gas and settled in with regular grade because I got the same mileage regardless of grade or brand. It took all year to slowly strangle the engine until I finally decided it had to be the cats. I can't find the cause but I am happy for the cure.

running rich and burning lots of oil will do it. If you had a misfire for several months or a bad O2 sensor that caused it to run rich, that would do it in.

How long do cats last?
Quote:
I think, though, that the previous owner, who lived on a two mile dirt road may have caused the innards of the cats to break loose into small pieces which then clogged toward the rear of the exhaust. That road was really like a washboard. The inside pieces popped out in my hand. They are supposed to last longer than 87,000 miles, no? Anyway, it's all good now. I'm ready for the next Bomber Run. And I also get to drive it every day now. |
