You responded to my plea for help about my 740 flooding when cold. Though you would be pleased
to know that you called it correctly. It was the water temperature sensor.

In your article (More Than Just Some Loose Change), you point out that many 'component' failures
are actually due to poor connections. Exactly. After 5 years repairing HP Laserprinters, it became
obvious that most 'component failures' were really the result of 'vibration corrosion' on the
connectors. I saved many customers from high repair bills by simply reseating and 'tweaking'
small electrical connections. No component failure; simply failure to get those little electrons from
one place to another - across a corroded connection.

Thanks for the feedback. The advice provided by my article can be put to use by many owners to save
themselves from very expensive, and unnecessary, repairs.
A friend of mine was raving about what a great book this is. Do you have any recommendations for
a similar publication for Generation 2 Mazda RX-7s?

Sorry, mate. "The Volvo Performance Handbook" and "The Gothenburg Bible" are for Volvos only.
Now if only someone would give me an RX-7 Turbo as a research project... Hmmm ;-)
