I think I have the sit-rep.I started the car this morning and did NOT give it any gas at all and it didn't make a sound.It is as quiet as when it is running normally.I am guessing it is the oil filter also.Slow pick-up when first starting the engine and revving it.I use Wix or Amsoil filters in everything.It has a Purolator on it at the present....UGH!As soon as my oil and filter gets here the old one is toast.i put front tires on it today and it needs rear shocks.Any inexpensive ideas on rear shocks would be welcomed.Thanks again for the input.
