"A Great car for the $800.00 I spent"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Replaced the started.

Had oil pump replaced.

General comments?

Looks great for 20 yr old car, body in great shape. engine is super clean for the miles, but makes a strange sound when it first starts until it warms up.

Odometer, and trip meter quit working at 211,000 miles.

Oil buzzer/light comes on after prolonged driving and deceleration, but goes off after you step on the gas, replaced the oil pump and sensor, but it still does it. (common among v dubs)

Surprisingly it doesn't use any oil.

Strange that this car is in such remarkable condition for it's age, which makes me think the miles are not correct and that the odometer isn't showing the correct mileage.

I'm inclined to think this car sat for an extended period of time.

UPDATE if your oil presser buzzer keeps going off under 2000 rpm's, you MUST replace BOTH oil pressure sensors... total cost for both is $14.00...well worth it to shut the thing up.
