For those who care to know this piece of Canadian Trivia, (since Canadian knowledge is sorely lacking, the farther South you get);

In Quebec, where many people speak French, it is not called "French Kissing". It is called "la tongue".

In most of Canada, it is perfectly normal to have an electric kettle, and gravy is served on French Fries (called pommes frite in Quebec). With Cheese curds it is called Poutine.

I spent $256.00 yesterday on a tune up and cleaning of my throttle body. Taxes were $31.44.

Now my van surges worse than ever (supposedly they "freed up butterfly flaps for $65.50). I'm afraid it's going to blow the transmission ist hitting on and off so hard.

Is it my airflow box needing the capacitor?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Marshall Ruskin
