Jeff, she already gets a maintenance dose of Redline SI-1 about 3 times a year.

Correction on earlier test result: I posted the wrong data for my airflow sensor (B2) result. Sorry for the confusion. I initially tested the coupling by error and got the results I posted. In fact, the correct proc is to test the sensor pins themselves. The correct result there was 4.2K ohms against specs of 3.6K - 4.4K ohms, so that's OK. However, upon throttle depress, the resistance climbs OK but then does not come back down as I continue to depress up to WOT. I don't know what to make of that. Similarly, the idle speed test of the throttle valve switch (S29/2) is supposed to go to infinity upon throttle depress, and my test result there was 38.7K ohms. To me, that's a failed test. Do others agree, or should 38,700 ohms be considered high enough to be infinity, in which case the test is satisfied?
