Last Fall, I was driving my Fiero home from work, when I happened to look in the mirror and see smoke coming out the right decklid vent. It was hot out, so I had the AC on. I had to wait through the stoplight, but then pulled over at the fire dept nearby. The smoke seemed to be coming from the area of the AC compressor. I turned off the AC, and the smoke stopped, although the air was still cold.
I drove my Fiero with the AC off, and all else seemed to be OK. I was told that I probably had the black death. I was disgusted, and parked it for a month or so. Knowing the work I planned to do, I decided to live with it. So I drove it to Davenport, Iowa. That wasn't bad. Then, I drove it to San Antonie, TX. THAT was HOT!
We'll see how bad things are.
