The wife is off babysitting tonight so I took that as an opportunity to screw around on stuff (I could anyway but easier when you're alone, plus beer and a cigar so I had to be outside
).
Started off changing the oil in the '97 finally, been I don't know how long... that went fine but when I went to start it I tried to do the "clear flood" deal with cranking at WOT to get some oil flowing and it started RIGHT THE F UP, so that would explain some things, I guess the easy thing to do is check the TPS and make sure it's getting to WOT (the whole zip tie mod and all, have never done that on anything yet I don't think), then maybe check on new injectors... probably should pull the manifold reference line off the regulator before I get too crazy...
Then went to look for something in the '00 Explorer, dome light didn't come on so battery was dead, the high frequency trickle charger was having nothing of it from the low voltage so I drug out the transformer charger... it's switch for modes is MAD and I heard some plastic go flying inside so I guess I need to take it apart once the battery is charged and get a new switch...
One of the harbor freight lights I put in the shop (out of 16 and after 2 years) has been iffy the last couple weeks so I swapped it with one of the extras I have for other places, I'm pretty sure it's just the chain pull switch since it worked once it was down... whatever
Then I changed one of the water filters for the house so hopefully there's some pressure now...
Tomorrow the speakers I ordered for the '90 are supposed to show up, and when looking in the explorer I found some panel clips so I even get to snap the door panels on better!
So anyway, was a mixed bag of success tonight...
