Thanks to all who responded to my question about the K-Jet problems. Turns out you were right, hillbilly! When the engine backfired, the hose connecting the aux. air bypass valve to the intake manifold had been dislodged. For those not familiar with the size of this hose and the related vacuum leak it caused, the inside diameter of this hose is somewhere around 5/8" in diameter. I slipped the hose back on, and the car is good as new. Well OK, maybe not good as new, but good as it ever has been since I have had the car. The odometer has never worked (stopped at 138K miles) since I have owned the car, and the previous owner reports that it had not worked for MANY years prior to me obtaining the car. Best estimate is about 300K miles... and still going strong!
