Is this something that has been happening, or  developing, for a long 
time, or did this behavior just start  suddenly? 


I got a call this morning letting me know he made it home. : ) It was  
still running extremely rich, and need 2 hours after fuel stops to cool down  
(the ice trick wasn't doing the job after a while). Otherwise the car ran 
great.  He still hasn't had a chance to investigate the problem, but will be 
doing so  before too long. He informed me that late last night a new problem 
raised it's  head, in that the generator light came on at low revs (like 
slowing down for a  toll booth), but went out once the revs rose again. He's 
thinking this  might be a loose belt though, as the light went out at highway  
speeds.  
So far on the list, he's going to check the MPS (for leaks), and the FPR  
(for a pressure reading), and definitely tighten up the belt. But after those 
 tests, what else should he check, now that he's home and has tools? Any  
suggestions?
