that's great, sucks about the $500 though. what ended up being the problem?

Engine harness for the fuel injection system had corrosion in a bunch of the 17 connecters and 3 wires were broken on it.

ah, that would probably cause some problems.

btw, this wasn't related to that coolant leak I warned you about was it? have you fixed that yet?

[DarkWing6]

I'm fixin that on saturday and yes one of the connectors for this had coolant all over it :). I think the leak just sped up the process of finding this problem. I don't think a coolant leak broke 2 wires.

it doesn't break them, but it can corrode them and cause them to short. :P
