More Problems....

[Ben Patterson <bpatterson@stanford.edu>]

<x-flowed>Hey there all -

	Well, the list rolls on. Every time I get something fixed 
something new breaks! AAAAAUUUUUGGGGGHHH!!! Sorry just needed to vent 
a little there...
	Anyways, I finally got the hoses to the windshield wipers 
cleaned out. Looks like there were worms living in there or 
something, but regardless, water is now making it to the windshield. 
The problem is my windshield wipers now only function when on 'high' 
- the intermittent settings don't work at all. What's the dealio?
	My distributor is leaking, so I changed out the distributor 
cap and rotor as a temporary fix. I also swapped out the spark plug 
wires since they were pretty thrashed as well. The car is running 
well now aside from having it die upon starting when it's cold. The 
car won't idle until it warms up for a minute, but it runs great once 
it's there. Another intermittent wiring problem or is this something 
bigger?
	I'm also having problems with my stereo in a sort of wierd 
way. I ran the wire from the left tweeter next to the power cable for 
about 2 inches because I got lazy. Now I've got some alternator whine 
happening even when the deck isn't powered, so I've got to move the 
wire somewhere else. No big deal. The big deal is this. When I push 
the car hard (high RPM's) the speakers will crackle and then finally 
give a loud pop and then the amp appears to have turned off. No fuses 
are blown, but I have to turn the deck off and then on again to get 
the amp to power up again. I checked the grounding for the amp and 
the deck and they are really solid. Anybody got any ideas? I don't 
see how this could come from running the speaker wire next to the 
power cable for a couple of inches, but heck, my life seems to defy 
the laws of physics on a daily basis....
