Really? Meze told me that I shouldn't be using it, as it was only for older 
cars without the Breakerless Transistorized Ignition.

Now, my '81 HAD the little ignition chip to begin with. O2 sensor, and the 
whole deal.

The wire from C19 of my fuse box to the Coil #15 has no resistance (just as 
it should not).

He said halfway through '80, all cars got O2 sensors, and that resistance 
wire was done away with.

Your '78 did have that wire, and it was needed.. not mine, tho.


This is really pissing me off.

So, the kicker..

The other day, I tried slamming the gas in a fit of rage, and it got the 
engine sputtering a little.. trying to catch, but then it just stopped.

I know it's supposed to be impossible for the gas pedal to influence how a 
Fuel Injected engine starts, but it did.

Before the engine swap, the same problem existed. But, the car would run 
(roughly) if the gas was held down quite a bit. And it hit out of the blue, 
too... no warning.

Another thing is, the oil temp gauge was freaking out, like pegging, then 
dying after two seconds of cranking.
