After sitting for almost a year, it now has a new clutch and waterpump and is running like a champ!

I think the real Christmas miracle is that a vehicle belonging to John left the place it was being stored at.  |

it was only at your house for a week, but your motivation did contribute to it leaving as soon as it did. don't think john or i have ever had that kind of motivation. remember, we're kids of the 80's...very laid back...lol

Made it home just fine however it did throw a code after a few minutes of highway driving. Just got back from a Halloween party so I will check the code tomorrow.

| Was the EGR disabled in the chip, John? I noticed you still have the solenoid for it plugged into the harness. |

Yup, its throwing a code 32 - EGR failure - duh...
And code 45 - rich exhaust - prolly due to the 3.8 injectors but it never did it before.  |

I wasn't born yesterday, John.

It was sucking through the uncapped air tubes before. Also, the O2 could just be crapped out, they tend to do that. |

Whatever O'Reilly's stocks as a stock replacement. I think it was Bosch.

Buy a real one: NTK or Delco. Bosch O2's are garbage. While you're in there, get a non-air manifold to replace the one you've got.
Also, that intake kit I gave you has an EGR gasket in it, so now would be a good time to go back to running one. |
