Bruno, on Silver Bullet

You actually have an idle air valve on a Denso NA ETM. Maybe try unplugging that to see if that’s bleeding air

I’m back in Queens visiting my parents and hoping to work on the Silver Bullet’s ETM. I’ve got the Interstate battery out of Blue Steel and on a charger to listen again for the click and whirr of it initializing after having it repaired by Xemodex.

I recently had ac evaporator job on my car and replacement evaporator(Nissens) was around 1cm smaller than original one,dryer(NRF) was shorter than original. Evaporator pipes were a bit off and i needed to carefully bend them in order to connect them ...

Both cars washed and drying in the shade before the sun gets too hot (Not often we say that in Scotland)

Rear wheels off today to clean the old balance weight glue from the rims and I have to admit that the only non Volvo part on my car is standing the test of time. The only reason I have aftermarket discs and pads fitted is because they were in the boot when I bought the car and the original 1997 disc...
