ALL fixed 700

So while removing the connector to hook in the resistor we noticed a classic and beautiful solution to my bad ECT, push in the loose wire. If you have smaller hands(as my assistant did) then w/o removing the manifold you can pull the ECT plug to look at it(takes alot of elbo greese/bending).

Results:
Car idle now runs at 700 instead of the artificial 1k that dealer put it at.
But more importantly the car starts right back up after taking her for a nice test drive = problem solved.

P.S. Downside -> Now I've lost my (it won't start for 2hrs) excuse for staying over at a dates house :)

Thanks all
