[s-cars] It's all about the seats.

[bill mahoney]

Thanks for all these fine ideas.  Majority says ignition switch even though
I installed a new oem about three years ago.
I knew I bought an extra for some reason.  So, since I have limited time,
order of operations is as follows:
Check MAF connector.
Check battery ground wire.  (Does that attach under the back seat
somewhere?)
Spray some carb cleaner into and around the intake manifold.  Check for
anything sticking.
Install new ignition switch.

I'm not sure what order to do these in:
Swap out all the injectors.
Swap in new ECU.
Swap in a flywheel timing sensor.

I think that's about all I'll have time for.
If not any of this, well, I give up.
