[urq] toasted ECU?

[brian hoeft]

oh my god.. (repeatx20) oh my god..

she loves me,, even though i want to sell her,, she really loves me!!

oh, im soo happy right now,, in fact, im typing wifi in my garage in the
driver seat of the IDLING coupe right now, rag stuffed in one pipe and my
shop-vacs tube out the other as i monitor the situation and rejoice since
she hasnt started in well over a month.
 ..could be the vacuum hose i found disconnected, one of the harness
connections I de-oxit'ed, just plain fluke, all that residual ether or,,i
still have yet to find the real culprit but whatever the case, im very
pleased, eased and hopefully someone out there knows how it feels... ooh,
and just as i say that i feel the warm embrace of the functioning seat
heater!! ahhhh  serendipity :)))

so tommorrow hopefully she starts again and i can go for a qruise,,  well
that is,  after i find that clevis pin a kind man (whose name i forget at
present&product designer i believe) sent me to compensate for the fit issues
ive had since installing 034's clutch/firewall/hydraulik bracket.  VERY
excited about that also.

well, thanks for all your finger crossing steve,, much obliged.
