Default Connection?????

Since I purchased my 90 Coupe about 9 months ago here is a list of fixes so far...

1. Fuel Injectors
2. Rear Tires
3. ECM
4. Module
5. EGR
6. Half Shaft U-Joints (PITA)
7. Manifold Back Exhaust System (PITA)
8. Fuel Injectors AGAIN (Stupid Accel's)
9. Water Pump (PITA)
10. Brakes all the way around
11. Rear Tires AGAIN (Stupid Lead Foot)
12. Power Brake Booster (PITA)
13. Power Steering Pump and new Lines (PITA)
14. New CD Player (Stupid Bose Gold) (PITA)
15. Intake Manifold Gasket (PITA)
16. Headlight Bushings and Gears (Stupid Factory Junk)
17. Windshield Washer Pump
18. Cruise Solenoid
19. Numerous Interior Parts (Stupid Disentagrating Plastic)
20. Probably About 20 Other Things I Forgot About (Stupid Memory)

I know there has to be a connection between all of this, I just cant figure it out. Any ideas???

wow that's a lot of stuff in a short time. I've had my 90 for 6-7 years and haven't had half that stuff to do. I hope you have it all done now and can enjoy it for a while.
