LOL... Just low pressure from the garden hose is all it takes. Yeah, I cleaned my wife's gasser, and it started running like chit. I took all the injector connectors loose, made sure they were dry, checked that PCM connections.... all good. TOTALLY forgot to check the plugs!! LMAO!!! "Spark plugs? What spark plugs??" 
I got an ear full over that one. The dealer fixed it up under warranty -- fortunately, we just had a BUNCH of rain, so it got blamed on that.

And Jim you have just the slightest MA accent. I can tell it's MA, but I'm guessing someone else would say a New England accent and not be able to place which state.

Funny story, and true:
My best friend down here at home is from Boston. He tells me a story all the time that is rolling funny. He had a friend he casually knew growing up, went to HS with so forth so on. In college several years later they were in a bar drinkin with some buddies when a girl comes up to him and asks where Mark is...my buddy says 'I dont know a Mark.' Well the girl turns around and says 'oh there he is', and my buddy says 'oh you mean Mac!', and she says no, his name is Mark...
[best Boston accent] My buddy grew up thinkin this guy's name was Mac when actually it was Mark...funnier told in person but still funny.
'park the car in the yard'....funny stuff

No, guys. They don't drop the R completely. They replace it with an H.
So it'd be.
"You can't pahk the cah in the yahd it's too fah from the bahn."
And they also put a bit of an odd sound on the vowels. I can't explain it in writing.

Well I'm right between New York and Boston. I can pick up on even the slightest New York or Boston accent in a second. Jim's accent is very slight compared to other folks I know from MA, but it is there nonetheless. Sorry, Jim!
