He noticed that the gauge was stuck between the white and yellow. I joked that the hose from the engine intake manifold had probably just fallen off! It turned out this is all it was and took all of 5 seconds to fix. My tip for the day is too make sure that those first few hose joins are secure! They seem to loosen up worse than any of the others. -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
