Aaaarghhh...sacrifice to The Valley!

[ram_g]

And I was SOOO close...

I've been working on my plenum and injector R&R all week, in between various T'giving commitments.

In the final home stretch, trying to put on that super-fiddly DIS connector in the back, having read all about bent pin horror stories. And learning that key success factors are having thin hands and no beer belly to come in the way as you bend and crane in awkward positions.

And then my 1/4" long socket came loose and fell into the valley! I looked and looked and simply could not see where it went. At that point I was so far into the re-install that I simply gave up and proceeded to finish.

After buttoning everything up, the car started just fine, no untoward noises. It's raining nonstop though, so not a good time to test out the new injectors.

So what does anybody think will happen to the socket? Stay in the valley until the next plenum pull? Drop out somewhere along the way? Will it hurt anything?
