Thanks much! But something has gone awfully wrong and one cylinder is dead. It was black smoking terribly the other day and tonight I changed a suspect injector, took it for a ride and knock knock crack crack crack....to top it off the headlight fuse blew (nothing new here, I can't find the short though) on a dark road 2 miles from home. We will see. I have a spare non running engine to rob parts from.

In 100 miles so far it used 1/8 tank of fuel down from the 3/4 mark. It also idled about 5 hours on a quart of fuel while I got the temp sensor and cooling fan circuit figuerd out. It was sucking out of a half full plastic jug so I knew how much was in there. I will also set this up so I have a calibrated gallon fuel jug hung up inside the car and see how many miles it takes to drain.

I can't wait to test it but it has to be running right first!

I flushed out the gas tank several times and hope I did not get any lingering gas in the system. I hear that it is no good for the pump. injectors, engine. Maybe I worry too much and I replaced the wrong injector...
