[urq] One fresh WX back to life.

[Brandon Rogers]

Seems to me 50% of running issues come back to vacuum leaks....

Replacing _all_ the hoses was a good thing

He, he.  That's what I was going to say as well (but Huw beat me to  
it).  Everyone cries about CIS, but if things are clean and pressure  
is good, I've never had much of a problem.  85% of CIS problems ime  
have to to with insufficient fuel pressure and the other 15% with the  
metering head/injectors.  Bravo, Louis-Alain!  Glad you've got her  
breathing again.
