@@Pantherjonvideos Americana? Well, they were not only designed, but also built in Modena, Italy. Yeah, engine was Ford and also Ford had rights to sell it in their dealership in US, but the car was import from Italy. And keep in mind, that it was still produced by DeTomaso until 1988, 13 years after Ford stopped selling it in US. Also designer (Tom Tjaarda from Carrozzeria Ghia) had nothing to do with design of Lamborghini Countach (which was designed by Marcello Gandini working at Bertone back then).

Alex, On a similar note to the brake booster, I had my coolant fill tank/ reservoir do the same thing. It might not be a bad idea to get another if the booster has cracked. The polymers are hitting that age when they just get brittle. For the brake booster I, regrettably, did not get a metal brake booster, but another plastic one. I do not like kicking the can down the road, but I did not want to embark on a possible retrofit project. Watching this and going through the work I did, I am sad I didn't take the risk of fixing it forever. Also, thank you for showing the true nature of what its like to work on these C4s. Its some of the most efficient packing of mechanical and electrical components I have seen, but fixing one component is such a pain sometimes. Keep it up! -Luis EDIT: It was not the coolant overflow, but the fill reservoir. I believe its the same material as the booster.

Gasoline engines inject a lot of fuel on cold start, in order for it to reach its full operating temperature as fast as possible. If one starts it and right then after shuts it off, a lot of things can happen. The most common is flooding, where a lot of fuel sits inside the piston. Also, the entire exhaust system may end up completely full of fuel, including the catalytic converter. Therefore, one shall let it work (at idle or not) for a few minutes before shutting it off. Alex, please install a good exhaust fan - so you can extract the fumes out of your shop, especially when your cars have "permissive" emissions control systems 🙂 A CO and Smoke alarm would also be good, especially those connected to the internet - so you can monitor it even when you are outside the shop.
