FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MEDIA CONTACT (not for publication)
September 2015
Michael Garland (717) 243-7855 ext. 133Burt Reynolds to Appear at Fall Florida AutoFest in
LakelandThe Bandit Onsite Friday and Saturday of Event Weekend
LAKELAND, FL – Carlisle Events has been promoting
automotive events in Florida since the fall of 2012 when it hosted Fall
AutoFest in Zephyrhills. After three
years and six increasingly popular events, the Pennsylvania-based company had
no choice but to move to a modern day, large scale facility. With the SUN
‘n FUN complex in Lakeland tapped
as its new home, Carlisle Events is preparing to host Fall Florida AutoFest, November 12-15. This event already hosts a bevy of automotive
and aeronautical excitement and now, Carlisle Events is pleased to announce a
two-day appearance by the legendary Burt
Reynolds.Reynolds
is a long-time star of stage and screen, appearing in nearly 200 films
including Stroker Ace, Hooper, Boogie Nights, Mystery Alaska,
Deliverance, Longest Yard, Dukes of
Hazzard and Cannonball Run. He
was a popular guest host on The Tonight
Show and starred in the television series Out of this World and the fondly remembered Evening Shade, which is considered one of the best comedies ever
written. Although Reynolds’ name and
face has graced many worthy movies, he will forever be remembered as the
charming, devil-may-care Bo “Bandit” Darville in the 1977 pop culture hit Smokey and the Bandit.Still a
working actor at the age of 79, Reynolds has a number of movies due to be
released in the next year. He continues to pursue his love of teaching at The Burt Reynolds Institute for Film and
Theatre. Recently, Reynolds was awarded both the Georgia Film Legend Award and the Film Florida Legends Tourism Ambassador Award. In September he
became the only actor to be inducted into the Stuntman Hall of Fame. Reynolds is actively involved in charity
work including a partnership with the Dream
Car Giveaway group. His association
with the Dream Car team is partially what brings him to Fall AutoFest. He would love to see one of his fans win the
beautifully restored and autographed 1979
Trans Am being offered through the Bandit Dream Giveaway Sweepstakes,
proceeds from which will benefit a number of worthwhile charities as well as
the building fund of the Burt Reynolds Institute.This is
actually the second time that Carlisle Events is doing business with Reynolds
in 2015. Earlier in the year, as part of
Spring Carlisle and its auction, the Carlisle Auctions team sold for $181,900,
a 1977 Bandit Trans Am that was owned by none other than Reynolds himself. The sale gained international attention and
proved to be the top selling car of the spring auction.Along
with the Bandit Dream Car, the Bandit himself and tens of thousands of guests,
the Smokey and the Bandit theme will continue with a replica of the Snowman’s
rig from the movie as well as a replica police car representing one that Jackie
Gleason/Sheriff Buford T. Justice drove.
In all, it’ll be a weekend for not only car lovers but also movie lovers
and fans of Burt Reynolds alike.Reynolds will be onsite Friday and Saturday of Fall Florida AutoFest hosting multiple
autograph sessions. Friday’s session is from 1
p.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday’s
is from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. In addition, Reynolds will return to the
complex after a brief break Saturday evening from 6:45 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. to introduce a drive-in movie screening of Smokey and the Bandit. An autograph with Reynolds is free, but
limited per person and a fee will apply for any merchandise purchased at the
signing. Details on Fall Florida
AutoFest can be found at http://www.CarlisleEvents.com

That is a great resort we have been there a number of times. I would absolutely be interest.

Pumping the accelerator should have no effect helping the
engine make boost except for this possibility. The VNT portion of the turbo
could have carbon build up and that carbon is causing the vanes to drag or stick.
When you pump the throttle the ECM is asking for rapid position changes to
vanes in the turbo. This could help the vanes break free of the carbon build up
just enough for some movement. The control shaft bushing can wear causing the
shaft to bind but’s that unlikely with only 100,000 miles the on the engine.If you have lot of black smoke coming out the exhaust under
full throttle that usually means your throttle position sensor is working correctly.
Sounds like the correct amount of fuel is
getting to the engine and just as you have said not enough air (boost
pressure). If all the things you mention have replaced/checked correctly there are
very few possibilities left. Turbo boots, turbo plumbing or the CAC has a big
leak. I don’t think pumping the accelerator would make any improvement to the boost
pressure if a leak was the cause of low boost.I attached some pictures if anyone is curious what these parts look like.
Keep in mind these parts work in an environment that is full of
soot/carbon and regularly see temperatures over 1000 degrees. I’m amazed the
system works as well as does.

Hello Ken,
The bus has about 105K miles on it. Nothing has been said at any shop regarding the turbo actuator???
What has been mentioned was replaced and that was the two v-pods, and the EGR valve along with any
electrical wiring. Unfortunately when the EGR valve was being replaced the stud on the EGR Cooler was broken and although they tried to drill it out they had to replace the entire Cooler $$$.Bill

Hi,
I have a couple of thoughts. First how old are the fuel filters? Next, you need to be sure you are getting fuel pressure. The turbo cannot spool up if the engne is not getting fuel. Now, with those 2 thoughts on the table, the easiest way to determine the issue is to drive the unit with a computer with the DDEC software running. While doing this when it acts up have the person operating the computer do a data capture. This records all engine parameters, if it acts up several times during the drive capture the data each time. After this return to the shop and review the data in graph form. You should see what the issue is.
You have changed a lot of things attempting to diagonise the issue. A likely culprit may be the turbo speed sensor. If it is not seeing the turbo RPM the ECU will command the turbo blades to 0 angle to increase turbo speed. When it sees the turbo speed it then increases the blade angle to provide boost.
It may be something else as well, but with the data capture you can determine what it is.
What is your coach number? How long have you had the coach?
I have the DDEC software if you are anywhere close to MD.
You did not sign your post so I do not know your name or location.

Royale 399,
Please post the name and location of the Detroit shop that is taking your money. We know from previous posts most shops are good, but we also know some are not so good. When I read your post my first thought is how to go about getting your money back because of all the needless expense you were subject to. That shop likely should throw in the towel.
I am nowhere near an engine expert, but based solely on your description the problem is not mechanical but is associated with the electronic engine controls. Yet the shop has been taking your money to replace mechanical parts.
I don’t think taking a hard look at the TPS is a bad idea and I did not see where the turbo boost sensor was considered as part of the issue. Both simple replacements, and both will control whether you get boost or not.
What Ken mentioned is something everyone should think about. He can take a EGR engine and with the replacement of a lot of parts completely simplify the engine deleting almost all of the parts you described, replacing them with simple pre-EGR components providing you with a rock solid engine without the complexity and unreliability of the systems EGR engines have. The result is an engine that not only provides better fuel economy, cleaner operation with respect to internal sooting being eliminated, the engine provides better performance. One of our members had that done and he is very happy with the results.

It is no secret I’m an advocate of compression fittings so given the opportunity I would use one. But DOT push in fittings are also reliable for a long time and inside the coach where the fittings are not exposed to temperature extremes and all the dirt and crud might also be OK. I make liberal use of tie wraps to make sure a hose or wire cannot rub on something or get pinched.
The oily stuff if I had to guess is a residue that indicates at some time in the life of the coach the air system was underloved and poorly maintained and as we know moisture and oil from the compressor(s) find their way throughout the systems. I know of no other way oil could enter an accessory system.

You need to drive one to feel the difference, then talk to me. Center of gravity is difference.
Also need to run your generator for the roof airs on the Newell, come on.
