Rick Bosak's Journal

After my last entry i had the car painted in Viper red before final re-assembly. After the first short season of driving I wanted to tackle the interior but I was having random intermittent driveabillity problems. Now I've been driving the Sprite for 3 summers. After much sensor checking, and desperate for a solution I decided to open up the ECU. I discovered a sticky mess and a leaking capacitor. This is a known problem for capacitors of a certain vintage. It plagued every thing from cars to TVs. I replaced all 7 of the ECU capacitors at a cost of 30 cents each and solved the random intermittent issue.
