I haven't _noticed_ the aux after run pump going, but I'm not sure if I
would notice it or not anyway. (!)

I found that (after I plugged it back in) the injector cooling fan _would_
come on when it was excessivly hot. I walked out to my car, and noticed a
different noise coming from under the hood - it was the injector blower
blowing air over the injectors (and out the little hole on top of the
injector 'shroud').

So that's all cool, and I'm not really worried now.. I just need to play
around a bit, and figure out if the after run coolant pump is functional.
Hopefully, I'm just being ignorant, and not noticing it, and it's been
running this whole time.

I wish I had gotten 20-50 oil instead of 15-40, however. It's HOT. Yuck.
frostbite never sounded so good.

I tried sleeping through the hot'est' portion of the day, got up at 6pm or
so, and it was still 95F out. Gezzz. Time to buy a air conditioner, I
guess. That's a new idea - instead of a _heated_ garage, an air conditioned
garage! That way it wouldn't be too hot to go fiddle with the engine, and
it'd help it cool off faster when I pulled in! (I'm ready to 'borrow' my
parents' subaru, start it up outside, turn the AC on, and get a bunch of
HVAC hoses shouded by dryer hose to pipe the cool air into my bedroom. Turn
the sprinkler on in front of the subaru so IT doesn't overheat, and go to
bed until the temperature drops to a resonable level. Like, 60F and
raining. I can't even go up to Aspen to cool off! I guess it's the hottest
it's even been up there! And it's more than 5000 feet higher than I am
already! (I think it's ~2 miles high) (bitch bitch bitch bitch... :)
