Angel & Baron

Well out cars have somewhat new issues and it couldn't have happened at a better time. We both have to travel the next two weeks, but not at the same time.

Baron (our Taurus) was reported by Jen that he is sucking too much gas out of the car. We immediately turned to Stephen to figure out the issue and he came up with a couple of possibilities, but no resolution. So it came to me and observation while Jen takes Angel (our Intrepid) to her training in Denison, TX.

I drove it for a couple of days and the car seemed to use gas normally. Have way through the observation Stephen reset the computer in the car and I waited 40 miles of driving to see if a code (Check Engine Light) appears. It has been 83 miles, no codes, no check engine light, and it seems like the gas is running well. I decided to fill it up and continue observation. I think it might have been a fluke and we just panicked.

As for Angel, Jenny was on her way back from her training when she calls me reporting that the temperature light came on and the temp gauge was close to the red zone, not good. Here I am feeling better about my future travel to Sherman next week and we get new problems with the other car. So we (Stephen & I) checked the fluid levels and noticed that the oil was considerably low, which bugs me because Stephen just changed the oil (entering 5 new quarts). We think there might be a leak, but won't know for sure until the car cool down.

I need to figure out what to do for Sherman because I planned to take a car with me and I still intend to. We will see.

Man!!!! Cars, like humans, are such tricky and unpredictable things.
