For starters, I took the cover off and hung it on the line to air and gave the car a wash, put on the battery charger, then Pulled the front brakes apart and cleaned them up. The monotonous part was cleaning every hole in the drilled rotors, using a small screw driver.

Also pulled the spark plugs and cleaned them up, then started the car after a 9 week sleep. Next will be installing new oxygen sensors and uprated, ethanol proof S/S injectors.

Replaced the driver's side 02 sensor and fired the engine up again - still has a stumble in the tick over? frown

Next job is to do the passenger side 02 sensor and see if that solves the problem.
