I have to replace the connector behind the headlight switch. When I do this is it going to be just as good to use butt connectors when I splice all the wires instead of soldering?

I found the problem. I pulled the headlight switch out and the wiring harness was fried. That is what the smell was I notice the other day. ( On a posting the other day ) Thanks

My headlights flickered a couple of times then went out. ALL other lights work fine. Where should I start looking????

No it doesn't smell like rotten eggs or anti-freeze. My son seems to think that the cat is clogged and overheating. But , wouldn't that be noticeable by a power loss? Now that I have gone out and driven the car again until it is hot, it seems to smell more like an adhesive that is hot , melting or burning. When trying to describe the smell I said dry heat... anybody who has worked in foodservice where they use warmers that have water in bottom of them- when the water evaporates and the heating unit is still on there is a definite smell and you know right away that it is a warmer that is out of water. Then the heating element is just heating up the metal in the bottom of it. It gives off a terrible odor and that is exactly what my car smells like. You cannot smell anything in the engine compartment , trunk , or outside of the car. It is only inside. I checked and it definitely is not coming from vents. What would I be looking for when checking the smart box??

I have a 88. There is a very strong smell in the passenger compartment. It smells like dry heat , if you know what I mean. The water temp is fine , you can't smell it in the engine compartment. It does not smell like sulpher so I am assuming it is not the cat. It does not smell like rubber or anything electrical burning. There are no driveability issues at all. Car is running fine with the exception of the smell.. Any ideas what to check?? Thanks

How do I get my Reatta listed in the database?

I have been talking to a man in New York who has a Reatta for sale. Probably going to take it and have it transported to Pa. When you do this how is the paperwork [transfer of title, etc] handled? Thanks..

Have you used it both in crankcase and fuel?

What size wheels are they?

Could someone tell what sea foam is ? And what its use is ?? Thanks

Well I am buying the 89. He dropped the price to $1800. It has new exhaust , tires and all maintenance records. This will be #2! I have a feeling it won't stop here. Thanks for all the input!!

I am looking at a 89 Reatta , sapphire blue , about 126,000 miles. Only seen pictures. Doesn't look bad at all. One owner car normal wear on the interior and scuff marks on exterior. Is $2000 too much? Also found a white 88 it has 224,000 at a dealer [ so no REAL info ] he wants $1000 has some rust in normal spots and some rust spots on hood. Would have to pay about $300 to have it transported to me. Let me know what you think about both deals!

I have not used this guy yet. But he has given me quotes. He was highly recommended to me. I am not sure how far he travels. Seems to be the east coast but not sure. He responds very quickly to e-mails. May be worth a try. <roaddogtrans@yahoo.com> His name is ED.

I have a 88. Whenever I am on the accelerator it makes this loud shrill whistling sound. It stops as soon as I take my foot off the accelerator. Cannot figure out where it is coming from. Does anyone have any ideas before I take it to a garage? Thanks.......

I always got 17.5 to 18.5 miles per gallon. For the last few tank fulls I am only getting 13.5 to 14. What should I be checking????
