YOU say that I'm miserable ... Gee ... I don't.

Rather, I'm ticked off at an organization, the EPA, that liberals have given
law-making authority to that is not a part of the legislative body of the US
government, Congress, and doesn't even have a true automotive engineer on
staff yet has decided they know all there is to know about how an internal
combustion process works.

But you've probably swallowed their propaganda hook, line and sinker and
washed it down with a liberal amount of their kool-aid.

As for handling two items ... ok, smart guy, tell me how you would operate a
DVOM while holding an el cheapo tach and controlling the throttle whilst
keeping all the test leads away from rapidly (2000+ rpms) rotating
assemblies and you are not allowed to ask for help.

And you conveniently forget that I am broke when it comes to your "suggested
purchases".

Maybe you should buy them for me if you think it's that darn important.

You know nothing of carbureted fuel systems or you wouldn't have made that
comment.

The same symptoms on a carbureted engine could be caused by: Faulty ignition
system (did tune-up and replaced ignition coil and ICM) ; contaminated or
lack of fuel (checked for foriegn materials like rust or water. replaced
pump and filter, cleaned injectors manually); dirty carburetor passages or
low float settings (cleaned throttle body, replaced IAC, and got sprayed by
fuel from the schrader valve because I wasn't expecting any pressure after
the engine had been turned off for 30 minutes and my arm is a bit over 24"
long).

Carbed engines don't have ECM's so that doesn't enter into that diagnosis
but since the unit I pulled out had a physically damaged electrolytic
capacitor (swollen case) I decided to replace it to see if it was the
problem.

As for the Renix scanning tool, there are things in this Universe you cannot
check or do without the proper tool ... like playing pool with a quart jar
of nitroglycerine.

Miserable??? If I were miserable I wouldn't remain sarcastic with you ...
I'd just ignore you.

And with my Irish/Scottish/Cherokee ancestry, the time to worry is when I
get quiet. . . . . . . .

Tolerance cannot be legislated, demanded
or coerced.

It must be given freely and unconditionally.
