Hi folks, I just spent 5 days driving my TVR to Road Atlanta, it was fairly hot each day, when we covered about 200 miles, drank several beers and decided to go to a liquor store for some Ouzo, like we really needed that, the car decided no to start. It cranked great, but no sputtering or sign of life. So... we opened the Ouzo. I cranked it several more times and after a half an hour it fired right up. For the remaining 4 days of hot weather, starting and shutting down many times and another 200 mile drive home we had no further problems, except for residual effects from the Ouzo. Anyone got any ideas? A mechanic told me to change the fuel pump relay. Fine idea, but I can't find it. BTW, the Ouzo is not a factor on that. Would appreciate any help. Sincerely, Wally Wilson

Serious warning (or low budget solution), don't drink water as you will get drunk again....
All this under the conditions that I don't know 280i and ouzo in large quantities.
