Too late. On the way home tonight (jan. 2) the cursed CEL came on. My PCV hose repair wasn't the answer I guess. My hose was in very bad shape (cracking), so I think the shop mechanics probably caused the cut when they were taking stuff apart way back when. Oh well, at least that hose is out of my way.

Well, I guess I better get the starting fluid out again and do another check. I must say I'm not in the mood to do an intake rebuild. I am very capable of doing the repair, but I'm busy the way it is.

I'm gonna give the Ford dealership a chance to find something wrong, after that I'm gonna consider the rebuild.

I hope you have good luck with your repair!
