If you move it Monday, its going to be on a tow truck.  |
Wrong! We actually moved it with a chain! Normally I don't give up this easy but I just ran out of time (the downpours didn't help) and I simply had to move the car. Actually, I haven't given up, I just have other things that must be tended to right now plus I'm leaving town again on Friday (yes, the 13th) for 2 weeks (business). Also, I want to take my 400E back to the strip when I get back so after that, maybe in about a month, I'll get back to work on this one and I'll be reporting back here with some answers.
G-man, You are right. I seem to remember reading somewhere that these CIS cars will run even if the ECU completely fails. You just lose the electronic control of the air/fuel ratio. So this car should be running! And it will be!
As the G-man can attest to, I generally don't leave threads hanging. As our Governator would say, "I'll be back". If anybody else thinks of something that hasn't already been thought of, please do post it! Thanks again to all of you! Regards, Eric
