Hi Art,

Thanks so much. and yes, i'm smiling through this!

Oil level looks normal. had it changed a couple of months ago and its still registering half way up the dipstick. Didn't smell like fuel. Also didn't notice fuel at the fuel pressure regulator vacuum line.

I was able to pull the first plug and the slight deposits were brownish/tan. When I went to pull the second plug, the wire harness separated and was left stuck to the plug. So, now i've got that issue to resolve before proceeding.

I'm also wondering if the ignition wires could cause the CEL and then the no start. The reason i ask is the first time I had a no start roadside, after waiting awhile, I checked all the wires pulled some, jiggled some...just making sure things were secure. and that's when it started again. Probably just a coincidence...

Hopefully with the a new set of wires, I can get it to the mechanic.

Thanks!
Shane
