Townes,


I just made the connection that it was you who had the infestation in the air filter box. The dust alone could take out the thin wire, or skew the calibration. The urine from rodents is highly caustic, and even the vapors alone can damage electronics.

BTW, I fueled the car with 4 gallons of E85 last night. Started right up at 20 degrees. The emmissions are way less potent then with regular gas. It is a little lean now, but the sound of that lean bumble is neat too. Soon I will order the appropriate injectors on eBay.
