Thats a good sign I guess...
It's blown, no need to assume.

Blown plenum most likely.

Do it before. And replace the o2 sensors and cat.

Bite me.

Won't be 80 here in michigan for a few MONTHS yet...... Yep. I'm jealous. But, I am NOT jealous of 110 in the shade in summer. (yeah, lived in texas for a while. Lackland Air Force Base, and Camp Bullis. )

It's gonna cool down a little next week, in the mid to high 60's and low 70's. This is odd weather though, I've been in Georgia for 3 years and we haven't had a winter this mild so far yet.

Last two year's it's been brutal cold only it RARELY snows this far south, and in these parts of Georgia.

I wholeheartedly concur. Especially when you have been warned what it's all about previously. I had a GREAT time there. Got to spend a couple extra months, as my Tech School was there as well. (security specialist, I got to play with a buncha, buncha cool guns. )
