Pulled my 6 month old Bosch Silver plugs and made sure they were gapped correctly.
Replaced plug wires with the Beru variety.
Replaced intake bellows with a nearly-new one.
Preventatively, shot some DeOxit into all the plug wire connections (and coil wire, ICV, AFM, TPS connections) before re-connecting them.

I thought fondly of it. Sitting forlorn and alone in the dark garage with just a battery tender for company.

Half-assed fixed my heat. Can't get a new solenoid valve, so I removed the lower stopper. Yeah I know, but it' getting cold.

Passed another California smog ck. This time with my aftermarket ECU... Glad it's over. Celebrated with a car wash and vacuum. For some reason the engine runs smoother when the car is clean..., weird
