:confused: So I finally fixed my problem with the car bogging out turned out to be the settings where adjusted wrong on my AFC . So now the car is driving good and I run into yet another problem. The problem that I am having now has to do with the clutch. I had had this problem before when my car would warm up I would have trouble starting it with the pedal once it got to hot. I wouldnt be able to start it no matter how hard I pushed the pedal if I kept driving it and turned the car off(be standed til car cooled down). when the car was cold had no problem whatsoever starting it changing gears ect. So I said what the hell and disconnected the switch at the pedal so now I dont have to push it in to start it. Well I really hadn't got to drive it because after I did that the dam CAS went out, fast forword to the present. So I fixed the sensor problem and adjusted the AFC so the engine is running fine now. I took it for a cruise yesterday drove it for about 45 minutes to an hour and the pedal started to feeling funny. Like it got a little stiffer or somthing kinda felt spongy actually started to slip a little. Now I read some other ppl's simliar problem and hear to bleed the clutch or the mastercylinder need to be changed. I know that the clutch is bled correctly and the slave cylinder is new the master cylinder is fairly new. My question is once the engine get warms does the fluid warm up to? I also hear that there is a rubber hose that might be giving or expanding when the fluid gets hot so thats why I would need to replace it with a steel braided hose. Any helpful info why I am having this problem would be helpful. I dont think the pedal needs to be adjusted because its fine when its cold drives and engages perfect just when the car gets hot. pleaze help thanks

Just read up on some stuff from some old post could it be the "pump up" problem? It says that if you notice the pedal suddenly gets very tight and the release point suddenly moves up alot that this could be the problem so I am gonna check it out today and see.
