I've been working on the Formula Fastback a little, today. Cleaned the leaves out of the engine bay and cleaned the engine and bay a little. As I've occasionally run it around the subdivision to keep things freed up, it has developed a check engine code. A scan today indicated a bad Coolant Temperature Sensor. Also, from the beginning, the clutch reservoir was empty. We refilled it, but not bleed the system. The clutch has to be pumped before it will disengage, and any long drive around the subdivision requires pumping before coming to any of the 4 stop signs I would encounter. After bleeding, if the symptoms continue, it will probably need a slave cylinder.
Board of Directors: I would like permission to purchase a CTS at a minimum, and if needed, a clutch slave or master cylinder, as needed. Your choice of vendor.
The car also needs the steering column tightened. Anyone volunteer to do that job? Since it's for the club, we can't pay you. We need to get this vehicle moving in order to make time and room for the other Formula we're about to take possession of.
