Hold on, man. It will end well in the end. Just take care of yourself and your loved ones.

Yes, we shall, it’s not easy when people from lock down areas migrate to our area, bringing who knows what with them.

Sleeper sorry for your sister ln-law.
Could you tell me how old she was and your brothers age ?
The info world says older people are at risk. I'm 70 and never had a symptom and don't know why.
Thanks

I am still lucky, out of 1248 deaths in a year, there are no acquaintances and relatives of mine.
I wish a speedy recovery to everyone who is now in a hospital bed.
Geg- Thank You.

If you found one that is not deployed, I'm convinced by that alone. Also have thought it through further and realized there would be less tension in the tensioner guide segment of the chain than I had initially though.

Welp, still get P0172 after getting the leaky fuel line fixed. I had asked for the plastic kit, hoping to eliminate any issues with the vapor line, but they just patched the problem area of the fuel line. Harumph. That would have been fine if the only problem was the fuel leak. Getting weird clacking noises on startup, 2-3/sec. from under the dash, for maybe 5-10 seconds on startup, and also a similar noise each time I tap the brake. Seems to come from inside the dash. Weird! Heading for the thread I was on to see what I can learn.

If they replaced the pressure line but not the vapour line, there could be a vacuum leak, causing the P0172. Sad when you ask the shop to do something and they don’t seem to have a clue .

Yes. But I should have been clearer. I've trusted them to use their best judgement in the past, and they probably thought they were doing me a favor by saving a few bucks. I'm taking the blame. This time. The kit would have involved dropping the fuel tank, right?

Nope, you don’t drop the fuel tank to install new fuel line kit, either stainless steel or nylon plastic lines, they disconnect just behind the tank
