Tone, using the reference to MAF you gave me plus the reference disc (also courtesy of you) Iremoved and cleaned the senors circut with electrical cleaner. While I was at it I also cleaned and lubricated (with electrical lube) all other circuts of the emmisions control system (o2 sensors etc). when I was finished the VX started and ran like a champ! So once again thank you for your commitment to service knowledge of the VX. I was serious about the beer! I plan to catch up with you sometime at a VX meet or somewhere. When I do, the drinks are on me! My new job allows me alot more free time now, I only have to work 119 days a year at my primary job! So, keep me posted on any meets you plan to attend. Thanks again!
