I'm saving them for who the heck knows why. Six months ago, I had similar problems and I chased it to a shorted plate. That was what is so frustrating, Is this car cursed? Furthermore, in my dotage, I can't get a mental handle on how the mod.A Ignition system works that will stay with me longer than ten minutes, maybe fifteen. Problems for me seem to evolve. sometime today, I will get the engine hot again just to see what happens. Wish me luck!

Good luck Terry :-)
