 All in all, it wasn't as traumatic as I had feared.
There were no fireworks, no resounding celebrations, the world did not cease its rotation for a brief moment, there is no epic story to retell my fellow members in regards to such a milestone.
I saw it coming; I was ready for it. It just kind of rolled over, very anti-climactically, then kept on going. And there it was, completely imperceptable to anyone outside the confines of the cabin. (touching, I know :-P) Now that that's out of the way, I would like to throw out a few "thank you's" to those who have helped me recently, along with a quick recap of what's been going on... Lately I had been having some issues culminating in my Z only running on 5 cylinders (...or so I thought). I had traced the issue as far as a bad injector, and didn't think it necessary to look any further. So after a swap to the '94+ injectors (to abey future issues), the car runs only mildly better, but still noticeably not running on all 6.
As it turns out, my problem was compound, and the dead injector had covered up the fact that my PTU crapped out, and only 4 cylinders had been firing!
So after sitting undriven for the better part of the past few months, I finally get all the bugs worked out, just in time for the 100k milestone! I would like to give credit to the following members for their assistance throughout: First, to Bernie (big surprise!) for a very clean and well put-together '94+ injector kit. (To anyone thinking about this as an upgrade and/or future preventative maintenance, the man delivers what he promises) Second, to Kyle @ IPP, for quick responses to email questions even on weekends, fast shipping, and excellent prices. Finally, and most of all, thanks to Dave N. His knowledge, expertise, and willingness to help through the use of his facilities as well as his personal time amidst a busy schedule were truly above and beyond.
To anyone in the SoCal area in search of assistance, I would recommend Dave in a heartbeat, he's an absolute pleasure to work with and a great guy in general on top of that. Thanks guys, couldn't have done it without you. It's people like you that make tt.NET kick ass.
