Sounds good, thanks!!!
Follow up question.  I want to retrofit a connector for a 2.1 o2 sensor
heater (FLAPS had a good deal on the sensor so why not get one?) and am
thinking of simply splicing off the aux air valve plug.  I figure this is a
natural choice since that's also a 12v heater element.

Any reason this is a bad idea?  Am I pushing up against a fuse limit?
