Message	Earlier this year I lost an injector and used the event to remove the plenum, de-water the TBs and eliminate the EGR. I also pulled the trans for this last job. I had a Bernard-supplied '95 harness but found it quite difficult to reach the crossing over on the firewall even with the motor plenumless, EGRless and jacked up from below. Decided to wait for the day I pull the motor to do the install. I can also at the time, pull the evap box and replace the TCA. This a freon 134a item that, in addition to the expansion/diversion valve, also controls evap temp. Busted as it is, it shuts the compressor down when the evap is well above 34C, reducing cooling substantially. With the cool season around the corner I don't have to worry about this for several months.
