By the way did you see the little video of your black beauty running at gateway, (it's only a few seconds long)?
no deep wells, but it is working just fine even with the heat shield in place. I haven't seen the video, but I am thinking maybe it wasn't the heat that had the roadster not running quite right. I came home put her in the garage after the CAA and haven't driven it since. I was driving the coupe. I didn't get 2 miles when this happened. Guess I got lucky it didn't happen sooner. She has studdered a few start ups before CAA, but it isn't driven that much, so I did not think much of it. I think it was a warning sign I did not heed. Anyway, ready to install the new one. I will let you all know if this was the problem.
