"Fun, fast, economical to run, but $$$ to repair"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Distributor failed at 80,000 miles.

2nd distributor failed at 160,000 miles.

Air conditioning compressor failed at 70,000 miles.

Will not idle smoothly. Revs between 750 and 1,500 RPM (Mystery!).

Aftermarket brake rotors seem to be made of compressed rags which have been spray-painted to look like real metal. Using the fourth rear set now. Watch out for this!

On my fifth (I think) set of plug wires.

General comments?

Fun little car to drive. I've tried not to like it, but find it impossible.

If you can afford the repairs, it's a blast.

The revving between 750 and 1500 rpms. It's your EGR valve, have it replaced.
