[T3] Lost power when warm?

[Jeff Palmer]

No I don’t think I have your FAQ and would appreciate that - thanks. Unfortunately I store the car in the country over the winter so it’s just a bit tougher to work on it. Should have at least another month though!

If anyone has a good used thermostat for sale please let me know!

Thanks
Jeff
