Trouble, Revisited

With the roof on, and us pretty well moved in out here, it seemed like it was time to have another look at that unfortunate truck.
A brief update here-
After spending a bunch of money (needed elsewhere) on that pitiful truck, the sorry thing laid down on us next to the Taco Bell. Even The Fuzz himself, was unable to get it to crank. He, and His Sweetie were forced to walk home. And on top of that, he had to pay to have the thing brought back to the house! At this point, The Fuzz was so disgusted that he just left the thing sitting in the yard. This was the point where the truck was (sorta) replaced by a trailer for the more dependable car.
And The Fuzz must admit, that although he misses his little truck, this trailer rig has performed quite well. But with winter upon us, it seems like the time has come to give that sorry thing an other look.
And so The fuzz is once again getting involved in this mechaniking stuff. First he wanted to determine if the fuel injectors were in fact receiving a "signal" from the high tech processor that makes it all work. (or not work as the case may be) So he dug around and got out a little LED and plugged it into the fuel injector thing. (seen above) And to his great satisfaction, there was a signal. He is hoping that this means the processor is not actually fried. But he has also discovered that there is no fire to the spark plugs. So now the next step is to try and find out why. Maybe he'll get lucky this time.
So "what's with the chopper" you may ask? "What does it have to do with this truck?" Well, actually nothing. The Fuzz happened to have his camera on hand for making pictures of truck parts (for future reference) and he saw this thing flying around up there. It seems someone found some people bones out there in the nearby woods and somehow the chopper had something to do with
all that sad affair.
