RUNNING REPORT 1

BACKGROUND:

• It was noted that the car would stall regularly, and required a degree of gas whenever in neutral to keep it from stalling.
• As a result, the automobile was immediately sent for a general service and tune up.

WORK DONE:

• Diagnosis was simple, the fuel/air mixture was incorrect, and as a result a simple tune up alleviated the problem.
• At the same time engine oil was replaced (Caltex Havoline fully synthetic), as was the oil filter and transmission oil.
• Total billing came to SGD445.
• However, it was noted that there were some minor oil leaks in the front oil pipe attaching to the front right oil cooler, as well as a minor leak from the upper and lower valve covers of the engine. It was determined that these did not need to be changed immediately.

Engine view after the first service (completely stock). Note the airbox system, which may at a later stage be upgraded to the 993 type mechanism for added power (this issue will be discussed in more detail in a later Running Report).

POST SERVICE SYNOPSIS:

• No further problems of stalling at the moment, although at startup the engine sometimes appears to rev irratically, revs dipping dangerously low for the first few seconds of start up.
• May look into the irratic start up idle.
