Agreed.. it was fun. "Hecho En Mexico VW owners " heh.. who said my car was
gonna catch on fire? heh. just cause my car doesn't have a paint job.. haha.
*sigh* yeah i have fuel problems. hopefully i can sort it out. i scanned my
graphs in and have some pics of me and my car.
if anyone have any suggestions on my fueling problems. let me know. i'm all
open ears at this point.
did any of you guys get the pepviewer to work? i want to view the results on
my machine, but the pepviewer doesn't like the files.
Thanks shannon for organizing it!
