I was waiting for him to say he found a GTR in a barn

That interior looks near mint. Obvious normal wear but nearly perfect.

Is that dash even cracked?

dash has small cracks, but the interior is pretty much perfect. The leather in the seats is kind of stiff. Can you believe even the sunroof in this car works?

Ha Ha Shmo, I'm guessing Fuel Pump Relay. Nice list of alternatives.
JC, what year is it, and mileage? Nice tool kit, mine was wedged under the spare and formed into a glob of rust
like something you would find on a ship wreck.

FPR, fuel pressure regulator. The fuel pump relay is more commonly referred to as the DME relay around here.

This car is a 1984. I dont know what the mileage is. The guage says 20K miles, but the last stated mileage in the documentation I found in the glovebox was around 50K miles in 1997. The car was certainly well taken care of.

This is where gohim usually chimes in to do a front engine service before you try and start it.

JC, I would have never guessed that, I participate in class, but I don't pay attention.
Now I'm trying to figure out what DME stands for .
Great car by the way.
