>For your 1st question on the plug heat tubes:I took mine out on my '95-5.2
with my fingers, the stubborn ones I latched onto them with plyers and pried
them out--before taking them out I first used compressed air and blew out
the loose dirt and grime of course the plugs were still installed to keep
out the unwanted. If after taking out the tubes and there is grime left just
use a small screw driver and loosen up the grime and use a shop vac and
suck --
>As to the 2nd question, I think it would be fesible to hook up a second
module by tapping between the two with a simple 3-way toggle switch that
could handle the amps and just switch between the two with a dead spot
in-between and you also have a fool proof ignition kill switch--but maybe it
would take more than just a simple toggle switch, what with all the wires it
needs to control.
