Terry: Relatively new air cleaner, I'll install a new one tonite. ******** sells the entire unit, not the insert for $165. Mine was a Bosch unit.

Evan: I'll try the bypass tonite and report back.

Marty: My scanner is one of the simple ones, no monitoring ability. If the insert for the CDI is mounted like mine you will need the security torx (the ones with the hole in the middle).

Husk: The codes were erased yesterday and didn't come back yesterday. My wife drove the car about 25mi today, I'll see if the codes have come back. "absolute crap" is the perfect definition of how it is running.

Thanks again to you all, I think we'll get it eventually.

Cal
