    Odd gauge problem

    To make a long story short - got the 90 lx out of storage and cranked it up a few days ago. After a few minutes of running choppy (which was expected) it warmed up and purred like a kitten. I took it out on the interstate and ran it at 55 for about a half hour then flogged on it for a while (the...

    another way to pull codes?

    i checked the wiring plug that goes into the maf, and the connectors seem to have some white crud on them, possubly corrosion. not terribly bad, but noticable. what would be the best way to clean inside the tiny little connector slots? would it hurt to spray cleaner in there? also, could that be...
