Oh yeah, I was going to mention the ventilation....

I don't detect a lot of vacuum when I do the jiggle test at idle. As I recall, my Haynes book describes moving the A/C comp out of the way to access the oil separator box - what a PITA if that's true. Do you know, on the NA, where the other key components are that I could easily get to to clean out - flame trap, manifold orifice, etc? I figured I could go after that stuff first and see if it improves the CC vacuum at all.

Thanks again.

BTW - my rear door lock fuse-blowing situation seems to have all of a sudden gone away. They've been working fine for the last couple days. So I'll see how that all goes.
