the wire must of run out of electrons! ;)

I did this recently as well for the exact same reason, took me about an hour
and $50 and my van has never turned over so quickly and started so easily.

now about that bigger engine .... i'm making moves to jump to a 2.5 subaru,
so I'll soon have a rebuilt turnkey 2.1 liter(minus the ecu/harness)
available with a tencentlife external oil cooler for sale.
Less than 10,000 miles on engine.  more details when I actually have it
removed and ready to sell.

I'll post it in the classifieds once I actually have it out of the van, i
anticipate this will be available in the next 2 months.

peace,
-Ry
