Wow. I was completely surprised by the massive difference in drivability. The improvement was almost beyond belief. It immediately ran substantially smoother and pulled like a beast. I had NO idea how bad the car was running until the swap. Great engineering to compensate for bum injectors - true. But WOW.

I did start to get code 55 also though on the way back that day. But a quick Fuel Filter change took care of that. My filter was a bit clogged. Not terrible, but enough to make a difference.

The Injectors & FF were a MAJOR part of my initial problem. But not all of it. The car threw 64's again about 100 miles into my trip home to Chicago, but was able to limp home. I'm certain it's something easy and simple at this point. So I'm not worried as I'm confident that between the Chicago crew and I, we'll get'r done.

I saved the original injectors and I hope to send them off soon to John for testing. This will show us all for sure if the '94-'95 Z's faired any better from the factory in terms of Injectors. I am not sure, as my car had only a few thousand miles when the symptoms first started. If nothing else, it's a good chance to learn something about our later model Z's I think

Thank you all once again. The improvement in drivability alone made me fall in love with the car all over again (insert sappy love song here...)

Your friend and Brother,

Michael
