Or I can threaten to set it on fire if it doesn't run.

I have a list of things to do:

-First I'm going to check the TPS to make sure it is set right.
-test water temp sensor.
-set the L-R screw to the middle.
-try the fuel volume test.
-do a code check (I did see the archive and I bought 2 LEDs to check it)
-install better injector bleed-off setup

The car is on the road and running great. I ended up having to drop the tank and clean out a ton of rust. I added a filter to the line between the tank and the pump (it has an external pump). I also had to replace the pump. So I now have about $500 into the car now. I have fluids to replace the ones in the car. I will be changing them this week. I'm going to register the car today. Also I'm going to have to have the car aligned.

I haven't yet. I was going to grab them on sunday but Simon was gone so I couldn't get in the shed. I didn't want to pry the door open, lol.
