Me and my dad decided to do a sleeper taxi with a 2008 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, this should be amazing.

    Yes it should. Can you give me a car though?

    I believe we have one with no rear axel, missing transmission, blown engine and all the windows are broken

    One that works you can spare?

    I need a car and our family car just died on us. (Transmission doesn't work anymore.)

    Ah man that sucks, my family has been there. All within 3 days the tranny went out on my dads truck, then the 3rd cylinder on my moms pt cruiser self destructed

    OUCH!

    Cars are great and suck at the same time.

    Our 86 e-350 rv is taking a crap so another tune up it is. I might just get a new carb for it.

    That could do it, how many miles are on it? On a 502/502 we had it was running like garbage and we threw on a new holley carb and it can like new, sometimes the engine just gets tired.

    50,000 or so

    She was bad when we bought her ($2500 for a rv)

    Changed oil, oil filter, gas filter, air filter, spark plugs, and replaced some air hoses and that helped a lot. Still have issues in the heat and uphill (Low power, stalling, vapor lock) so we need a new carb which will help some and to replace the gas tanks and pumps. COTD.

    Because it is an '85 the environmental regulations mean no user adjusting of the fuel/air ratio. So a new carb that has those adjustments will help with the stalling. (Live in Colorado and mountain passes are 10,000 feet or more where air temp can be up to 90F so lowering the fuel will keep it from running so rich and backfiring) We plan to add a lever to adjust it in the cab like I have in the carb aircraft I fly.

    Black is throttle, red is mixture. That is a c172 g1000

    Nice, I know on the sandrail we used to have out in the dunes the air temp was a cool 110*f, and having a carbuerated engine was the worst

    YEP!

    That is why I love the mixture control for my airplanes (All are carb) When I am at 10000 feet with an oat of 85f it is hard to get so little fuel in there.

    My dad and uncle modded some old card in 76 to have a mixture control, they said it worked well.
