      Thanks Eric. Yep, others that are doing it or have tried it all said it is hard and a PITA. So with that said, I’m opening my own shop. I’m already moved in the building and fixing to open in mid August.
      Thanks.

        No, it doesn’t idle up. I mixed in 1 qt of ATF with a full tank of gas to clean the system and IAC. Hoping that is the issue.

          Yep, its not. We use it at U of A, and I was thinking about getting the DIY package that lets you put 3 vehicles on it. I think it runs about $150 a year. If you want to add a vehicle beyond 3 its like $25 extra per vehicle. AllData pro runs like $2500- $3,000 per year. I know you can buy software to download in to your computer for around $150 give or take. But, the problem with that is…you don’t get any automatic updates for your vehicles like you would get by paying per year. :ohmy:

              I’m a Mopar fan, and I like any from the Muscle Car era, but I really like the 68-69 Plymouth Roadrunner/GTX. The 383 in my opinion and I know opinions vary, was the better engine than the 440. My uncle had a 69 GTX with 440 and it was super fast from 0 to 90, but after 90 mph the valves would float out. Before he could get it fixed, he got drunk one night and accidentally parked in a bank lobby in Havastraw New York via though the brick wall. Needless to say, the police wasn’t very happy with him. LOL This is a true story. banana:

                      The battery was checked along with everything that each of you had suggested. What had happened, she had fried the battery cables. Once replaced, it was ok. Thanks for the tips. One thing is for sure, without the right tools on hand, and easy job becomes complicated.

                              Hell, even Craftsman went way down hill. I was looking at my dads old Craftsman tools he bought back in the 50’s and 60’s; they are far better than the ones produced today.
