Uncovered, started and warmed it up 15-20 mins. Turned it around in garage, to work on last wheel well.

It purred.

Post Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?

I put a new battery in. Dressed it out real neat so it will last.
I have a problem, I'm trying to figure out who the culprit is with the cabin fan comes on and off at it's own will, almost like a loose connection. It doesn't matter at what speed I have selected, or whether I turn it off upon engine shutdown or not.
Sometimes, it almost seems to hit or miss either when I experience vibration, or sometimes seems when I touch the brake pedal, cuts it off... But, more like a flakey, weak relay switch.
Does anybody know if the cabin fan has a relay switch? Or, have you experienced this symptom....?

That's a very nice setup. Drive up one weekend and lets make it happen.

Rick,

you may want tot re-post this here:

Technical & Modifications - CrossfireForum.org

Or another place our "Fix-it" gurus lurk? It may garner more attention and a faster response.

A few days ago I chopped the top off my coupe and painted it graphite grey.

Drove each 10 miles today. I think I might drive the graphite one more, like to work and such. Of course, the first door ding will send my back to garage haven, but think the people I work with will give it a width bearth. I'll be getting into the ash tray fix later this week on the black one.

Why aren't you ever down here? I thought you were coming down for some 1/4 mile fun? Steve's got plenty of room, but stay away from that mean a$$ rat (Chihuahua).
