Anything under the dash. It hurts my back just thinking about it. I can't think of a better situation for a mini-me.

[QUOTE=65Z01]I guess the most frustrating is that fuel keeps seeping out of the feed lines every time I have to pull the fuel rail.


hey Jim.... I have used 2 golf ball "T's" shoved into the open feed lines.... that will keep them from leaking when disconnected.

Like the secret hidden fuse panel under the passenger side dash on my '92. WTF were they thinking?

Nobody would ever pick one of these cars to work on if they weren't such a blast to drive. So far the only easy repair has been changing spark plugs. Would be happy to never work on HVAC or ZF-6 clutch again. Doesn't help that GM has kept me waiting for some weather-stips for 4+ weeks.

I just got done replacing the heater core, and the job lived up to it's reputation. Be sure to stock up on bandaids and Motrin.

I would say trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with the ignition when it wont start sometimes... ended up replacing everyting under the sun and still didnt fix it. I finally figured out the problem though... and guess what... I havent fixed it, but now I know what to do if it dont start.

In my case, I'm not sure the nut that holds the wheel can be fixed! (My wife's been trying for years.)
