Gents,
Thanks for the feedback thus far. No offense taken on my (and my friend's) saviness by the way, which ties into my next comment... Peter Kraft, no, I didn't mean to insult mechanics by my endearing use of "schmo", just being silly! (Honestly, sorry if I offended anyone...was not my intent) For the record, I am a rescue helicopter pilot...perhaps crazy but I definitely enjoy my job I'm a schmo though for doing what I've done thus far with the system without proper knowledge... Patbob, thank you for diplomatically pointing that out

Alright, well thanks again, it is obvious that this type of troubleshooting is something I shant be continuing with. Best of luck with all of your future automotive ills!
