Well I'm still around.and have not been able to get back to work on the cross firing on my '05. Have been having some trouble with my back and hip. But no need for a pity party as I'm on the mend. Been four months since I drove it, so today I aired up the tires and drove a few miles. The battery was still up after all that time. Ran great "but" did not do any fast acceleration to see if It still had the cross firing problem.
