to answer your question bill yeah it does show the arc electrical leak and no it doesnt have to be at dusk plus once its starts arcing yourll here the motor start to miss . lol one time like a month ago my igintion wire hit the exhaust and melted the rubber around the wire and the jump was so bad u could see it {at night} and when the motor when into over drive the car shook ... like the motor was badly out of balance ... also made the cat glow :P

lol

Sorry Mike ...had to

The end was all you. They shouldn't look like you ran them over. Fun getting that out w/o taking off the TB huh? PS. Found your issue.

Mike I have one I could send you...it has really low miles and came from a 99 SSE.
If you want it send me your address. Could get it out tomorrow.
Comes with the egr and tube.

Thank'* Todd, but I have about 2 dozen at my disposal. Gonna get it at the j/y this morning.

Boosty, it took about 30 seconds to pull the TB off and kick it off to the side. Hose, pops off and the airbox just pops out. Nothing is really "bolted" down persay.

By the way, I think I know how that happened, I was in a mad rush almost 3 years ago putting my engine back together because I started a new job the next day, and I think I had a hard time getting the tube to go back in.

How'* the car running with the new tube? Any of the issues still exist?

Hard to tell Bill. The day I replaced it, I still experienced the issues, but yesterday I had it out, and it drove fine. Possible having the battery out most of the day prior to driving have an effect? Relearn?
If I see it again, I'll verify my fuel pressure.
