OK, got home and attemped to start car -- no dice. Jumpered to test fuel
pump -- functional. Removed airbox and checked/removed and replugged-in the
connectors to the rpm sensor(s). Reattempted to start and...viola! Sure
saved some time vs. replacing the sensor. Figure I may have brushed against
the connector when I bypassed the Heater Core earlier in the week. So far
so good.
