Thanks Craig,

All the FI stuff worked great when it came off the 1.9
engine 6k ago.  That engine was pulled for a coolant
problem, and honestly, a bit of a project/experiment.
Turned out to be a lot more of one than i was
bargaining for.

Interesting thoughts on the FPR, but i would be
concerned that might just mask a deeper problem.
Worth trying if i get desperate, though :-).

Thanks for the words of encouragement!

-Damon
