[Supras] Holiday Help :)

[joe at wilmcd.com]

I'm having the injectors cleaned/tested at the moment. I don't think a
cold start injector would affect warm starts... even if there was one on
this engine :) There's basically no chance it's timing since it ran before
I swapped gas tanks. I had a broken line after the fuel filter and it
doesn't run right so the only thing left IMHO is the injectors. We'll see.
Fun fun :)
