All this time, I thought you had that problem before your showed up. Drew, I am really sorry.
Guys, Maybe another meet soon as the weather is probably going to be cooler in a week or two.

I had that CEL, which seems to have vanished though. considering I probably would've spent a lot of time and money trying to eliminate it, when all it wanted was to be cleaned out, I'm still plenty satisfied with the outcome  . AND I found out what that horrible whine coming from the car was (power steering pump  ). I'll figure out something w/ that throttle cable
Hey Drew shoot Matt an email to check to see if he has a power steering pump from his parts SVT. matt_vinkler at yahoo.com

But just so that there is no misunderstanding. We are all really grateful to Ryan and Pete for taking time out to assist us.  Without them, I doubt we would really have gone so far with what we did (LOL. All our Contours would probably be still sitting in Steve's Parking Lot today. LOL)

Heheh, I was wondering when you were going to show up! At one point I was thinking I'd offer you $40 to button mine up while I stuck my head in the cooler. But you never showed. Alas.

There were 6 Contours that were having maintenance done and none of the owners had ever done nor knew very much about cleaning the manifolds. I did the best I could running between each car. That and I was feeling like crap and lightheaded all day, so I wasn't at my best. Drew's pre-98 was in pretty bad shape with 175k on the clock. We really could have used your expertise Dan!

Hey, I wasn't giving you the brush off  . I checked with everyone around and everyone indicated that dinner and movies were not on their plans (100 F weather with humidity does suck the life out of you.) And so I relayed the message to you. And I don't recall you asking if we needed help. 
But what about another meet soon if a place is available?

Ah, didn't realize you guys were going so late. I think by that time I was back in Alexandria.

My place is available, provided I clear it with the wife in advance. I have my 24' 2-car detached garage, plus a whole lot of nuthin' around my house (don't have neighbors yet).
Just say when... You MD'ers can jaunt down Rt. 15 if it works for you - Rt. 15 spits you out within 1/2 mile of my house (before you cross I-66).
