Okay I will describe it better...
When I start the car, after it is sitting idle in park for about a minute, the rpms start fluctuating between 5 and 15 if it drops below 5 it jumps to like 20. It...

When I fire up the car and it is in park the engine starts revving. From about 5 to 15. The lower it drops the higher it revs.
Sounds like someone is pushing the gas pedal then letting off...

Every time I go out the car starts right up, and stalls right away. Then it won't turn over. The volts are almost 13 upon initial start, but look like they drop off after the stall to 11.
1. The...

Sorry for the delay, been busy and not been around. But yep that's me! I remember someone taking that pic when we stopped at the light. I took my 3 year old to Eddie's drive-in for lunch.
thanks...

I am no mechanic...that being said if I go over 40mph and try to stop it feels like car is gonna fall apart.
Now it had an alignment last year...but now I can see it is off big time, I assume...

Yeah like a jet turbine with a bucket of ice in front of it...lol
Yes, it would have to be on the passenger side floor or in the passengers hands...not too much room now the conversion is almost at...

Oh it's a bumpy ride without the conversion for sure...but I have had no issues yet.

I have a BTTF converted car, my air conditioning works great, but, the two air vents in the center are now blocked by the time circuits...I plan on shutting them to force the air to the door vents,...

Thanks for the compliments guys.
Haven't been on the forum for awhile sorry for the delayed response.
Still trying to to hunt down a few conversion parts and bend the dreaded flux bands...ugh!...

Thanks,
With engine running I pulled the small hose on the barb on the water pump...nothing came out. I shut it down, and using a small funnel slowly poured coolant into the hose, after about 4...

First off I have searched the forum and read all of the coolant bleeding procedures.

Here's what I am looking at...Car overheats really quick, couple of minutes. The fans were not coming...

I think they were more interested in ME, and needed to break the ice! LOL

Actually already heard that a few times..."what is all this stuff? Why did the factory do that? What does it do?" Mostly from teenage girls who have never seen the movie.

Thanks guys, sorry it took so long to respond, I have a 2 year old and a very sick mother, mixed with no internet at home for the last week.

Yeah, the trying to take a picture of the car when...

Quick history, I've had the car 11 years. It had an electrical meltdown along with other major issues...and was undriveable for 9 of those years. Well after a ton of work it's running and driving. ...
