I recently discovered that KARR's e-brake (aka parking brake) was not holding properly. In fact, it was not hard at all to push the car when the parking brake was engaged. I took KARR into Troy's shop to have Troy check it out. Once up on the lift, we determined the 32-year-old e-brake cables are beyond stretched out. They have been adjusted as tight as they can go and are still not tight enough.
And if that wasn't enough...in a very KARR-like act of defiance he decided he didn't want to start when I wanted him to...only when he felt like it. It would take two sometimes three attempts to get him to start and I often had to try to stroke his ego a bit. It seemed as if the engine wasn't getting gas. With practically the entire fuel system having already been replaced, Troy and I are betting on the fuel pressure regulator as the culprit. This would be the only thing aside from the stainless steel fuel lines that was not replaced. The fuel pressure regulator is an original now 32-year-old part.
I ordered replacement cables, one for each of the rear brakes and the main cable running up to the parking brake handle. I also ordered a new e-brake equalizer (adjuster). I am having Troy order the fuel pressure regulator.
