I'm not....I'm not.


I just said that if it was carb, it would have had less things to troubleshoot. I'm still curious as to why it wouldn't pop a code of any kind. That was weird....Maybe it was not registering it as even running?

Computers are evil! They just sit there not saying a word, and when you aren't looking, they make your car run horrible! I wish we could go back to the old days when that kind of black magic would get you burned at the stake. Just think, if that stupid computer wasn't there, he couldn't possibly have blamed anyone but himself, but since that evil black box was there, naturally we assumed it was up to no good! To make matters worse, it tricked us, and was actually just fine! I hate that stupid computer! It is too complicated! If it could only be as simple as a Holley 4150 with just a pair of jets, an air bleed, a float, a needle valve, an emulsion tube, two idle fuel bypass screws, transfer slot, power valve, PVCR holes, idle bypass jet, accelerator pump, squirter nozzle, pump cam, all times two. What could go wrong with that? I mean, seriously, my Grandmother knows how all that stuff works!

Heres a thought.... maybe instead of trying to dumb the car down.... we could educate the owner.... I know its a crazy radical idea, but just maybe....

Just for the record, I like a Carb just as much as the rest of the Unabomber wanna be's around here, and I can tune and modify them nearly as well as I can the factory EFI system.
