"If gas prices weren't so high, I would not sell this car ever"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The fuel pump was giving problems at the beginning. When I had to start after the engine was hot, it was very hard to keep it running, near impossible. Replaced the pump and since just the usual things with a car that old - Starter, Battery and Alternator. The headliner also started peeling off, but I think that was due to a water leak in the floor.

General comments?

This is the best car car I have or possibly ever will own. It's powerful, Handles like a racer, Looks beautiful, doesn't rust, can drive it through anything, soft and comfortable interior, roomy, folding seats make it carry almost anything - I could go on for a long time about my Love for this car. My air/fuel ratio was perfect, but for some reason it ate more gas then it should have, only reason I have to sell it.

Is our Z24 automatic supposed to be a three speed with no overdrive? Mine is, I think that is why the fuel economy is not so good.

The 3 speed auto tranny is the exact reason for the poor gas mileage.. its what I have in mine... my last cav was a 94 with a standard tranny... much better fuel mileage..
