    Default Back on the road.

    Monday night someone smashed the Sable - it was parked on the side of the road.

    So, I took yesterday off work and put the Contour back together. I got it all buttoned up this morning and made the 32 mile drive to work. Everything seems to be working. It is nice and smooooooooth.

    I got the Second IMRC not working properly code (I removed the secondaries). I need to come up with a return spring to fix that. Then I got a LF ABS Sensor open error. Other then that looks good.

    I noticed a little bit of a difference, it can spin the tires in the rain real easily. It could do that before, just more now. I hope the roads dry out for the drive home tonight.

    Well, the roads were dry on the way home tonight. There were policemen everywhere, but I can say WOW what a difference. Well worth the money and time.
