Thanks for checking in. I'm standing here next to the car reading my multimeter's manual to understand if it can give me a millisecond reading on the injectors, or just a duty cycle.

Today I confirmed that all the coils are firing across a 2cm gap. I confirmed one side of the car that this is the case no matter which connector I plug the coil into. So I'm confident that it has spark on all 6 cylinders.

I'm toying with the idea of taking off the manifold to inspect it, as well as to hopefully be able to see a valve moving within the inlet port which I can hopefully use to check the timing of the cams. I doesn't look easy though...

And have also been doing a job that no one should ever have to do...

And also derived a bizarre amount of satisfaction detailing one particular spot on the car.

I received the decals for my calipers so that's now waiting for me to get time.

Here she sits. Still!

p.s. 2016 is 75 minutes old here - HAPPY NEW YEAR!
