Did a little work over the weekend.

Had the brake fluid flushed and refilled - noticed a difference in the pressure needed to stop the car. The fluid was pretty dark. Also changed all 6 plugs to the autolites and added a set of stock wires.

Also performed the do-it-yourself air induction cleaning, by pulling the vaccume lines and feeding the chemicals through the two ports. The car never died (had someone idling it about 1500-2000) but produced lots of smoke and sputtered often. Cleaned the throttle body as best as I could.

With 127K on the odo, the car's running like silk. Alot better response especially at tip-in. Definately worth the time I spent.

Regarding the FMS 9mm wires - I bought a set and put them on. Had a devil of a time trying to route these, I bought several spacers and tried to rig them where it would work. Fired it up at night and could still see some arching where I guess they we're far enough apart. CE light stayed on all the way to the dealer (where I bought the stocks) The best I could do still looked like a rat's nest. So now I have an extra set 'just in case'.

Since you did the Berryman's cleaning you did change your oil, RIGHT???

Nice to clean out the engine, but change the oil after such a cleaning. All those solvents should not be left in there for too long....


Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
