Misfortunes Con.

Things don't seem to be going real well in the mechanical realm in regard to The Fuzz's little truck. He spent mucho dinero on repairs. Everything seemed OK at first, but then, troubles began anew. But he finally found a way to read the code himself using this nifty home made device he found on the internet.
This is one of those vehicles where the dash instruments will not blink the code using the old "Paper Clip" trick. But this device, consisting of a LED, a resister and some scrap wire, will, when plugged in to the right places, provide the needed information. It remains to be seen if this will help matters or not.

It can't hurt.

I need to get my timing belt replaced. Not right now, but soon.

There is also the leaky valve cover. I found out that the intake manifold has to come off. Maybe some more things too.

You can not just tighten the valve cover bolts, because the gasket is an O ring. Tightening it will not help.

It is a plot by the Japanese to get even for that nuke incident in the 1940s.
