Subject: FW: Read this spark plug?
===8<==============Original message text===============
Hi Rich,
Still haven't diagnosed it, just haven't had time.
Tied up all weekend getting my CHL renewed and
school and job keeps me pinned down during the
week.... I did check resistance across the
injector terminals and they matched the others and
were pretty close to what the FSM calls for.
Congrats on first place!
