Message	I just replaced all my 1, 2, and 3 pin Male/Female connectors in the engine bay (VTC, TPS power, O2, AC, knock sensor) with weather-pak connectors from Napa. For those that aren't (MAF, TPS signal, PTU, CAS), I cleaned them up as best I could, and relocated the PTU into the footwell, so it won't be subject to the corrosion of being in the engine bay. If I could find a reasonable replacement for the IACV, FICD, injectors (new style), and CAS, TPS, and MAF, I would, but it looks like I'll be filling the back with RTV instead. --------------------------------------- Your powers are useless! I'm wearing my tinfoil underwear! I will not shop at AMS. AMS steals designs from hardworking Z32 enthusiasts and screws them out of work in a tough economy. I am boycotting, how about you?
