A strange fuel/spark issue

[David Pertuz]

Josh Palmer clued me in to some Bosch injectors that were on closeout for
$25 each, so I just ordered new injectors - that's the same it would cost
me to have mine sent out for cleaning, and there's no guarantee those would
all be good. Some hose pliers are on the way so I can replace the fuel
filter again, and after that all should be good. Well, except for the list
of ten other minor things that have been invariant for ten years :)

Unfortunately my commute to work is going to go to shit next week, and I
may find myself having to sometimes drive to work for the first time in a
decade. If I do, the SE-R will gen the car for it! :)
