My P19 sat for 2 years and now i cant start it there is no spark. I have replaced the condensor, coil and points with no luck.Ive run out of ideas, anyone have any ideas or want to help? Ive been sick for the last 2 years and this is frustrating trying to get back to the car. Any help would be appreciated Mike

Try this one - the actuator on my turbo charger went on my VW Jetta - the dealer doesn't sell that part - they only change the entire turbo charger. Luckly you can buy just the actuator on line for $100 - that saved me quite a bit of money. I never got a quote for the turbo replacement, but I'm sure it would have been well over $1,200. Mike

Thanks Mark - it's good to be driving it again - although I might have to do something with the exhaust - I feel a little dizzy after driving it on long drives. I'll check it out this weekend.

I'd like to go - but my work schedule is also kind of up in the air - working lots of weekends. My car is now running so if I can get out of work - I'll be there. Mike

Hey Mark, You're correct - they just need to have some verification that taxes were paid by the previous owner.

I hope if someone buys it in Massachusetts that the guy can prove he owns it other than a bill of sale - he'll need to provide a tax bill or Massachusetts won't register it. It says he has no title - which is not a problem if the previous owner can prove taxes were paid - it's all about the taxes. Mike

if you bring it to any upholsterer - ask them to do an 8 way tie on the old springs - they will then wrap the springs in burlap and put a 2 inch firm foam over that - I did it to mine - and it made a big difference.

I was told by my insurance company that the reason some states do this with making you track titles - is because the state wants to collect sales tax when the car changes hands - even if you don't register it.

I couldn't get to the website - got the same message.

Hey Mark - glad to hear things are moving forward with Ruby. How was the carburetor rebuild - I know you were concerned about it last time we spoke. Mike

That's a nice tool chest - I'd like to see pictures when it's full of tools. Am I the only one that is totally disorganized in the garage?

Thanks everyone - I'll get the bright light and look around real well tonight - I've already done that twice, but it doesn't seem like it could have gone that far. Mike

While taking my steering wheel off - the horn button spring got away and I can't find it. Any idea if there are replacements out there if I can't find it? Thanks, Mike

I would imagine we would need to spend tax dollars to repair the roads - tax dollars no one wants to pay. The roads in Rhode Island are pretty bad - it seems like they have to rebuild 30% or 40% of all bridges because they are considered unsafe. Everyone wants better roads but no one wants to pay for them. Just my opinion.
