Well, it's so silent, that I decided to ramble on about what I did  
today.  I'm finally parting the grey car, and needed to drive it  
somewhere to do that.  After putting a battery in it, it didn't want  
to start after getting hot, and while I was planning on taking it on  
a 5 minute ferry, that wasn't  ideal. I tried to find another place  
in town, but needed to go out there anyway, so decided to replace the  
flywheel sensors today.  With a tiny 1/4" ratchet, I was able to  
extract the sensor housing in a record 17 min!(getting good at  
this).  Took them inside and sure enough, the speed sensor(the one  
that always seems to go bad), tested bad.  I had 3 spares, so I ended  
up testing all of them, and sure enough when I got them hot with the  
heatgun, 1 of them tested bad(as well as the one on the car that  
tested bad cold, and didn't change when heated).  Got it back in and  
it runs/starts great, just wish the auto tranny didn't  
slip......anyway, I went above and beyond the call to verify tranny,  
and there's no way I'm putting another auto tranny in this car(other  
cosmetic issues).......Ultimate parts car.......I'm keeping a lot of  
stuff, but if anyone needs any Titan Grey body parts.....I'm finally  
getting to it.....Tom
