I might have to share my Meds with you before you get that " thing" you call a car fixed.

David,
I am truly impressed with this car.
I think if I let you drive it it would litterally take your breath away...
When do you want to go for a spin!
LOL,

I'm sure its just like driving my 83 GTI for the first time. I loved it. I bought it new and it never cooled off. It was balls to the wall every time I drove it . I sold it 3 years later after 0-60 wasn't that important anymore. I really don't think my bod could keep up with the new ones. I use to holler at my elders when they got in my way. Now I understand why.  ;D ;D

I find myself wanting to go 0-90....
I have got to be careful in this car, it is going to get me ticket.
It is sooooo easy to purr along and look down and see 95 on the speedo.
It isn't even pulling hard in 5th.
I've never had a car that had cruise control on a manual trans before...

If you haven't been able to have it scanned you're more than welcome to bring it down to chickamauga. I will be working all day Sunday.

Pressure is low if the compressor was engaged.

On the high side anyway. Compressor is cooked

Doesn't look promising pressure-wise.  If/when you do the compressor make sure you do the dryer and the expansion valve along with it.
