I have good used ones. Jim

Stanley, I sent you two emails. I recommend simply cutting out the bad spots and put in a small piece of high pressure fuel line hose with two clamps on each end of the hose. If you wanted you could replace the plastic hose with high pressure fuel line hose all the way from the splices in front of the rear wheel all the way to the fuel filter as it is only about 4 feet. This has been done on the lines coming from the tank multiple times with success. Jim

I do have a pretty nice one available. Send me an email and please include your Postal Code. Jim

I saw that ad on Facebook for the '91 in Maplewood and didn't do anything for a day or two and when I looked again it was gone. Really kicking myself for not following up right away. It was a pretty nice car and they were only asking $ 1500.

I have good uses ones available.

When just replacing he accumulator you just take off the old one and put on the new one. Same if you are just replacing the pressure switch. If you are replacing the pump, then you need to attach but leave loose the steel line going to the master cylinder ( the hose in the case of the '88 systems ) and put on but leave loose the accumulator. You then turn on the key and watch for fluid to start leaking out of one or both of these places. Turn off the key and tighten the line and accumulator. This is necessary because the pumps are fluid pumps and not air. They need to be bled to get all the air out.

Barney is the best place to get the motor/bellcrank repair parts. His are excellent quality and VERY reasonable prices. For all the other parts listed in Barney's picture I have them available at reasonable prices.

I didn't really read the above comments but the '88-89s used steel lines and the '90-91, -93 used plastic lines. The electrical connectors are the same on all years. The Cadillac ones Dave referred to will work but the resistor is of a different value so the gauge will not work correctly. Yesterday I removed two sending units from Reattas and am pretty sure i have a good one available . I will test the gauge sending units today to make sure they are working. Never replace a sending unit without replacing the fuel pump and do not use a cheap pump, because of the work to drop and replace the tank, put in a good quality pump.

There is one for sale in Superior WI. The body is rusted bad, dents in it, taillight broken bad, IPC does not work, brake lines rusted out and brakes do not work. ECC does not work, radio too quiet and 17 year old tires on Pontiac rims. He wants $ 600 for the car. He says the tires and rims are worth $ 1000. I walked away without commenting. I used to own this car and sold it to him in 2005. I looked at it about a month ago and passed on it. Not even a good parts car.

This is a sort of slightly common problem. The problem is the IPC. There is something in there that does not allow the codes to be displayed. Over the years I have tested many IPCs and sometimes take returns and then swap circuit boards to try and get them working again. One of the tests I do, if the IPC lights up digitally, is check to see if they will go into the diagnostic mode and sometimes they do not. At this same time, I always have a good IPC to test to make sure there are no problems in my test car other than checking IPCs. so I am positive any problems encountered are in the IPC being tested.

When I got into Reattas, like Barney said, they were $ 1200. Then $ 850, then $ 450, then $ 250 now I sell them for $ 75 Windshields are the same for coupe and convertible. I have them but will not ship one. Jim

I also don't think a car with 11,000 miles is new. $ 40,000 it about double what it is worth. A friend here in Duluth has a white/tan/tan convertible with 12,000 miles on it for $ 15K or offer.

SOLD

An '89 Riv column will work directly into a Reatta but the wiring for the cruise control is different. On the steering wheel on the Riv.

A friend in Iowa is selling for a friend in Iowa of his a '90 convertible with 12667 actual miles. The car was purchased almost new in CA and brought to IA back then and never driven much but started regularly. Has the original tires from '90. CD player. The AC is low on Freon but otherwise everything works correctly including the ABS. They would like $ 15,000 for the car.
