Bill it was a grapefruit! They don't make banana's big enough......

Rick are you sure the GPR is bad. The woof you heard was the fuel mix lighting cause the GP got hot enough in that cylinder. Which also means the injectors were squirting which points back around to the GP issue. I DON'T KNOW!

BTW if the GPR is bad plug it in for a few days and order the Stancor!!!

Not sure you want to play that game with Rick. He could take up the bandwidth with pictures of stuff you don't have.......
