Well it'll take awhile but you should just let it idle for awhile in your driveway (locked). Eventually it should kick on for you.

thanks, all.

Feel real sorry for you on one hand...here in Bama, we have been seeing the heat index reaching around 104+ it is at those times that I use the A/C....but most times I don't. But, on the other hand, hey less drag, more HP...roll all four windows down
