Van #2 is running like a top now. After being convinced one of the vacuum lines was leaking, turned out it was a sticking PCV valve.
That engine still sounds like it's wheezing but it's not throwing lean codes anymore
Now I need to make a list of parts van #1 needs, after a couple years of being parts van, so I can get it rolling, then fly down on some 3-day weekend and drive it up north after filling it full of remaining bikes and other crap.

Maybe just 45 minutes. Wednesday is supposed to be 70.

Did I mention that I broke 1000 watts in a sprint the other day? 1013 watts to be exact. Kinda freaked me out a little.
