Steering lock problem solved (for real)

I finally pulled mine. The steering wheel doesn't do its pre-start dance anymore and the car starts with no delay. I must say getting the fuse box out was more

Default cb pull story.

I finally pulled mine. The steering wheel doesn't do its pre-start dance anymore and the car starts with no delay.

I must say getting the fuse box out was more challenging than I had envisioned reading all your posts, but was definitely do-able.

Also I broke one of my little plastic trim rivets. and dropped a pocket knife down into my engine bay which came to rest on my lower plastic engine cover. getting that out was harder than the cb pull as I was at a buddies house. (no jack stands to get under there and had to drive around a crappy part of town looking for a high enough curb to prop up a wheel so I could wiggle under the car to unscrew my cover.

A couple very helpful prostitutes came up to ask if I was okay and one offered to join me under the car. I don't think she was too good with tools (not the kind I was trying to employ anyhow) so I politely refused, finished my businedd and did my best 0-60 yet departing the area!!!!

Woo Hoooo! Personal best 0-60 pull and a successful engine control mod all in one night.
