Message	had been chasing the speedo gremlin for a while, but that's fixed now (thanks DVDBURN!), then had a busted shock leaking on the garage floor, replaced that with a good used one (thanks ebay!), and had an injector go bad. Fortunately it was one I had already replaced so it was easy to get out and swap with another spare I had (thanks dremel method!). Still had a strange miss, so I started cleaning electrical connectors, cleaned out throttle bodies while changing boost hoses. Cranked right up and ran like a dream. It's frustrating when you know it isn't anything major that's keeping it parked, but you still can't find time to fix it. -------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------- Conversation between my sister and my wife (shortly before we got married): Wife: "You know, sometimes I think he loves that Z more than he does me." Sister: "He probably does, and as long as you're okay with that, everything will be fine."
