Ok,

Here's whats up.

Took it to the dealer. I know, I know. My friend there works in the quick lane. Ran over and ran it on the computer. He got a #2 code (what I was told). So he said check under the Drivers side valve cover. I decided to pay the fee (discounted to 30.00) Wich seamed more than reasonable to me since I did not have the tool.

Non the less, I took it home (rough driving). I got it home, removed the turbo/intake tubes, the battery terminals, and the valve cover and guess what. NO.. the connection was not burnt, nor broken. It was disconnected. My theory is the safety snap got warm, the plastic sagged a little and road vibration caused it to vibrate loose?

Im going to look and see if I can zip tie the connection so the tab does not come free.

Question? (I know this is a stupid one), but what is the best socket setup for inserting the rear bolt? Also I did remove the steel oil valve on top of the valve cover with the phillips screws holing it on. Should I replace the o-rings under it? Also I planned on using terminal grease in the connection. WHat do you think?

Sorry to sound like an idiot, just doing the best that I can.

Bill

Im going to work on another project and await a possible answer to some of this..

THANKS!
