Sounds like a productive day.

I posted a few days ago about algebra and various electrical issues.
Yesterday, I pulled the left engine bay grounds, cleaned them up and
reattached. Don't know if it's related but my windshield washer pump works
now.

Had to replace a tailpipe in anticipation of MD state inspection. It
wouldn't be a day of car repair without breaking a rusted bolt. Fairly
quickly I was able to drill out and re-tap. One piece of the seires
complete. Need now to get acouple of headlight adjusters, repair and
reinstall the rear bumper and then I can get it inspected.

Pulled two PS high pressure lines today. Replaced one onto the other
vehicle. Holding the second to see if my flaps can make a repair. If not
then new parts for $211.00.

Also swapped out the idle stabilizer valve, re-hooked the vacuum line
under the ISV, Removed and replaced the power steering pump on the blue
van. Discovered two very rotten coolant lines on the blue van,
(inadvertantly stuck my finger through one). I now have a new power
steering rack to be installed and a complete set of FI hoses to be
installed.

Need to build a mount bracket for  my SA grille, then it can be installed.

Lots to do, lots to do.
