Re: Maybe We Are In Our Death Throes Here . . .
i need to apologize to you. i teased an appt with you in june and then went cold on it. i ended getting the van running, and boy was it a dumb thing. i spent all that time getting the RMS replaced, replaced some FI stuff, all the time thinking i had fuel pressure on the fuel rail. turns out i had AIR pressure on the fuel rail. so when i got to the part where i applied 12v to the fuel injectors, they were just squirting air. but well! so yes a trip to the gas station and we were sorted. van runs well now, some hesitation problem was solved along the line, maybe O2 sensor? i may never know.
anyway, colin, i apologize. good news is the bus is still not running so maybe next year...

You handle that with office hours, and scheduled calls, rather than sitting by the phone.Not a bad idea, but yes to the invasion of being at the beck and call.
