Thanks all for the replys. Food for thought is welcome.

I've had the injector cover off and it is clean, poked around enouhgh to be reasonably cerrtain there are no varmits or debris elsewhere . Folks live on a ranch so know to look for this. Did find lots of grasshopper parts under the air cleaner and got rid of those early on. Nothing else found.

Car seems in reasonable condittion. Not perfect, little dirty inside in hidden areas, engine compartment is muchcleaner. Suspect it did not receive dealer maintence as have little info in the books.

As M.B.DOC suggestted, I will report back after the harness is and installed and a good solid connectio is created to the shutoff solenoid.

I did not authorize replacement of the Cat, just couldnt rationolize the concept.

Again thanks,
