First, let me apologize for stating that the td has 65 horses. I don't
know where that came from, they of course have 80. My td with an
automatic is very slow but it is a remarkable auto. I think that with
the automatic, it probably goes from 0-60 in greater than 21 seconds.
But, I've learned to anticipate openings well and I don't have to drive
in extremely heavy traffic.

Secondly, I am continuing on my 85 xn6 wagon project. I work when I can
trying to solve problems. I took the car to get it emission tested and
tuned up to a pretty good peugeot mechanic. He is very expensive.
Perhaps, he sized me up appropriately as a skin flint. He solved some
problems but it still misses and doesn't seem to rev correctly (which he
ackowledged). I've cleaned the air filter and fixed the breather system.
He thought it might be the fuel pressure regulator. "Where is it" and
hints on testing it would be appreciated. Hints from experienced trouble
shooters on the fuel and electrical system are welcome.Rulon.
