Been fixing problems
When I bought my 1992 in March it had some minor problems. Since then I have found the hole in the vacuum tubing that fixed the cruise control. I replaced the fuel injectors since they were the original multitechs. I tracked the intermittent left O2 sensor lean to a faulty ECM and had it rebuilt. I repaired the upper door panel so it no longer pulls away from the door. The electric door locks not working was caused by a blown fuse and a broken door lock rod clip. Now the only thing left is the CD player will not accept a CD. Since the AM/FM radio and cassette tape player work just fine I do not think I will bother with this. When the speakers die I will replace the whole system. Until then I will just drive it and enjoy. I bought the car with 49000 miles on it. It is now at 52,600 so I should have a lot of miles left in it. Bless the FSM.

I had the same problem with the radio not accepting CD in a different car. What I did was reboot the system by removing the fuse to the radio, wait a few minutes and plugged the fuse back in. The radio reset itself and CD has been working fine ever since. Like any other electronics, reboot first step.

If you get an err message on the CD, try this....get a FACTORY CD, not a home burned one....and insert it repeatedly. Over and over and over. For some reason, this frees up the mechanism. My CD player didn't work either, and I read on here to try this. Took me 40 tries before I got it.....on try #41, Highway to Hell came to life. 
This was a year ago....still working fine.

worth mentioning if somebody is doing a search:
If you put a CD in and it gets stuck in the halfway position and won't eject (it keeps trying to go in, but never makes it all the way), you can power down the car, take out the key, and then hold down the CD eject button. It will pop right out.

Don’t let Keith fool you guys. He’s having a blast. When he’s not having fun with his two vettes he got a whole stable of cool cars to tinker with

Here is my winter project. It is time to strip the 36 Packard and do some minor body work and paint it black. Then I will make a new black leather interior and a new top and hopefully I will be driving it this summer.
