not really "today" persay, but I did repaint the rotary accent on my shift **** last night.

Kind of tricky to disassemble, but it went back together fairly well and looks much better, although the color is off by a bit. (metal flake in the paint I used is way too prominent...looks bedazzled or some ****.)

Still, much better than having scratches and gouges all over the place.

Looking to buy a new set of coils and wires in the next couple weeks. any recommendations for good OEM prices? Too broke at this time for the BHR set.

Doing an experiment today. I pulled a po2259 code the other day"air solenoid valve control circuit" I am going to erase the cel and pull the 60 amp fuse to the air pump to see what happends, if my code comes back?. I don't think it will and if it does I will fix the solenoid/replace it, if it does not come back I am good.

Your code will come back, not sure what type of logic would expect otherwise.

Value of my comment was to point out your flawed logic, its nice to see your still attaching useless images to all your posts though.

^ Mine had lots of oak pollen & maple seeds.
I read they last longer if you keep the fresh air vent closed when parked. Keeps mice out in the winter also, FWIW

Mine looked like that except I also found where the missing insulation from the passenger side of the engine bay went... Into the nest I found in there. It was truly disgusting.
