Jim F & Larry,

Thanks for your posts.

Today I ordered the neutral switch and brake stop switch from Fastlane. We'll see what effect they have once I get them and install.

I'll check the module stability/connections per Larry's suggestion - and also the MAF screen removal technique to better clean the wire. I'd actually started this the other day...but upon starting to pry the large snap ring away from the collar, thought I might ruin something so I decided to stop.

As to the throttle actuator - I've read Jim F's dialoque on this and decided, in light of the cost, to defer evaluating/replacing this for the time being. In other words, take a look at the smaller, less expensive possible fixes first - leave the throttle actuator as an option of last resort.

But once I get 'er figured out, I'll be sure to let you guys know.

Jim
