Got her done

rdass623

Duct tape was very high on my list, but I too am as German and as stubborn as my German car, so I pulled out the long piece of intake pipe, put both on the bench, borrowed my wife's hair blower, heated up the "female end", applied a little lithium grease and some elbow grease. Once "mated", I took them apart, stuffed them both back in and re-introduced the happy couple. I would only recommend this on inanimate objects.

Now waiting for Pelican to deliver some gaskets for the throttle body/intake runners and a new MAF sensor for the rough idle and we will see what happens.

Collateral happiness is that I now know exactly where the starter is and if/when I fails, that should be a piece of cake.
