No Sirrie Bob (I've always wanted to say that... I must be tired).  Took a
look see tonight and everything looks tight.  BTW, the trim on this car is
LIGHT YEARS ahead of both my 90 and 4000.  Comes apart relatively easily,
nice covers for all of the screw holes, etc.

Anything look out of order that might slip passed my virgin S6 eyes? (I
opened the clamp over the wiring harness to get better access to the
trap).

I'm still thinking a fuel related issue of some kind due to the fact that
it went away for a bit after a fillup.


Thanks, you guys rock!
