btw.. replaced the battery with a Napa 960CC... didn't start....! Hooked it up to the danger ranger again.. and with about 5 minutes of on/off cranking.. it started up.. but it was ugly! I also managed to break the vent that runs from the Valve cover into the air box....don't ask.. i was trying to take off the air box to spray some starter fluid down the bitch's throat! anyways.. got it running... but need to fix the vent now! grrrr...!

In the future, if you want to spray some ether or starter fluid, just spray it in one of the vacuum ports on the side of the intake manifold, like where the brake booster vacuum connects. Then you don't have to try to remove your air intake assembly.

Ya, the one time I have got carb cleaner into the intake, the result was a nasty backfire back through the TB. Threw a code too. I wouldn't recommend it. I was just pointing out that if you want to spray something in the intake, there are easier ways then removing the air hat.

That pic reminds me , rember to bring your pets in..... a more safe way to use starter fluid is have some one cranking the motor while you jus tap on the spray, its highly , highly flamable , if by chance it fires on down stroke or up stroke , you risk of pushing a rod out of the block, some times it can also ruin sensors...its colder here in pa then up in alaska , Thanks al gore...
