After removing drivers coil as it was barely out of spec/replaced with good and nothing.  While coil was out realized the hemmorage on 5-speed was from hydraulic hose that loops over brake booster, thought, I can do this.  Switch to 5-speed and had hose out in 20 min.  Getting that banjo bolt on to rack took hrs with my tiny hands....had to walk away a few times and neighbor heard some words.  Finally got it in and had marked plug wires as I needed to remove dizzy cap for access.  Marks got smeared removing wires.  I only had to remove 2 wires and one said 1.  Put back and sparked right up and idled slightly high like it's done since '08.  Book was right there so verified plug wire and 5/8 were swapped and have been so since I got the car in '08!!  Idles perfect now and feels like someone put a huge turbo in....I drove that car 3 times to WY/CO and loved it....had a slight  shudder on acceleration but always assumed it was something.....HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.  The last parts car that had 2 wires swapped could barely run.  Since the PT fires 2/cylinders/time, maybe 5/8 made it happy/don't care.......Drove it today with the heat on high and fan blowin my hair back while I passed a guy in a Black RS8(new plates) on the way to lake job.....He waved.....Ha....Have rebuilt rack but apparently can put that on hold as hose was the problem....James gave me the whole hose package as I've just got boxes of hoses, so gleaned the hose and all is good.  didn't even replace orings, and leak free.  Love it.....Tom
