    Yep, our crazy Colorado politicians are hell-bent on turning us into California's sister-state. They've tried messing with our 2A rights but way too many hunters for that and we even recalled and fired one of them for going over the line.
    Folks I know who need to replace cats go up to Wyoming or Texas and pay a fraction of the costs. (But we did get rid of our emissions testing so folks only get them if it's to needed by the engine.)

    I tried to find out why it's not starting. The AM2 fuse blow when I turn on the car.

    There is a lot of information about the AM2 fuse blowing on a Gen 2. Do a search.

    Thanks! When I get back home next week I'll try to find time to look at it.

    With prices and rent going up I'm having to do a part time job in addition to my full time job. It makes it hard to find time just to look at the car.

    The AM fuse does not blow when the inverter coolant pump is disconnected.

    Time to get an inverter coolant pump and try to fix the infotainment center and the wheel bearings, and get the bumper and wheel wells back on and some sort of relay that fell off that I'm not sure what it is.
