Ya Baby!
Soft top works and engine runs fine, and ABS light out.

What I found:
OVP relay had one of the 10 amp fuses bad. It looked ok, but tested bad. Replaced it and car started and runs fine. Only issue left is the vacuum / miles per gallon gage stays at 30 plus.

Soft top - I think every code on the list came up, and then some. Cleared them all, got the single flash, and all works fine.

So, my only remaininmg problem is the vacuum gage reads 30 plus miles per gallon. I wish it were true. I'd like to fix it. Any ideas.

And again - everyone here - thanks a bunch!
