I have been doing lots of little things to my car to get her running good but it seems 1 step forward 2 steps back is the way for DSM. Anyway I was under the hood this morning checking things over and I heard a decent leak of air coming around the crank sensor I believe it is,

Well it seems to be holding fairly well, but of course that's not the end.. Smashed my windshield and sunroof today.. What a great car to be the PROUD owner of LOL

Let me guess... Didn't shut the hood all the way and it flew up and smashed the windshield?

I did this on a 1981 Monte Carlo SS and it smashed my windshield and tore my hood clean off. I had to find new hood and mounting brackets to make it like new again. I will make sure next time my hood is closed all the way.

JAJAJAJA.

Same here,

I did it on a Mustang, But I sold it like that.

But I am proud to say from there on, It haven't happen any more.:nono:
 
Unfortunately I have a switch for my fans under the hood and I guess when I closed it before driving off it didn't click all the way down.. Anybody tried swapping windshields on 20 year old NY cars?? I don't forsee it being very fun..
