Being on teh road for work have not had much time to work on my problem.  But
before I left on sunday I figured I would try the simplest suggestion I was
given to address my hesiation issue.  Someone had sugested to me that it
could be a timing problem, and then that some day someone on the list
suggested the same. (Thanks to whoever suggested!!)  Advanced my timing a
little bit and my hesitaion dissapeared!!  While I was doing that noticed my
rotor was pretty arced, gonna replace the cap and rotor this weekend. Then
should also be able to tell what is happening with my gas milage(in the
company van this week). Thanks again to all for there sugestions.

Also found out about that the 90 Carat in the Tampa area.  Its red, has a cd
player, up graded speakers.  AC works. Pwr wimdows, criuse.  The slider door
handle is bad, and the carpet is not perfect, but the seats are!! The inside
is REALY clean.
The odomiter says 96,000 miles on it but it has A BRAND NEW MOTOR.  The guy
said the owner put the motor in at 90,000.  The engine was clean enough to
eat off of!!  And started right up and sounded good.  Ran it with the ac for
a bit and let it heat up, all seemed well, second stage fan worked and stuff.
 The guy said that he wants $7000 for it, and may bargin.  I tried to get
number of the owner but the guy at the used car lot says he is a doctor and
does not like to be disturbed and that he can bargin for the man!!  I
explained to the man about the list and told him I will let them know, and he
asked that I not post his number. ( he does not understand the list concept)
I am almost tempted to buy this one myself and resell mine, but have bonded
with mine and can not part with it.  Let me know if you want more info and if
you are REALY intersted.
