[Mgs] Miss

[Monte Jane Morris]

I ordered O-rings for the bottom chamber of the HIF's last night (as well
as relay wiring for halogen headlights) and guess what? This morning on a
30 mile drive up and down hills at 60 mph, there was NO missing at all! I
did fill up the tank twice in the last three days, so maybe if there was
something in the carb jet or chamber it cleared itself.
I think the car knew  I was going to be "tearing into it" when I ordered
parts and just decided to heal itself:).
Thanks for the input.
Monte
