[urq] suddenly Lean - Now I'm Rich!

[Buchholz, Steven]

... from my POV I think the folks on the list deserve more credit.  I'd put many or most of the folks on this list up against the run of the mill specialist at the dealer ... especially on the cars we're talking about (and since new cars employ computerized troubleshooting and FRU replacement maybe even newer cars too).  What sets us apart?  We typically want to know how the things work ... 

Keith said it himself ... if he had looked at fuel pressure sooner he would have had the problem solved long before.  For me it only highlights the premise that if you are going to keep your urq running with a CIS system you need to have a fuel pressure gauge and a meter that can measure the duty cycle of the OXS Freq valve (for the WX anyway).  Read through the IST docs to understand how the engine is designed to work and you'll be able to fix most anything ... and you'll know more than the specialists!
