Message	2nd one within 9 months. Damn ethynol. Is it just the 555's or what? I believe it is but I think it is time to get some 740's. This sucks......Thank god it is drivers side front, Pretty easy swap but damn....Also, I did some research on the ethynol crap. It really only affects years 1988-93 cars because of the design of the injector they used during that period. Go figure.
