Fixed the Wagon after a few tests. Damn ignition module.

Babied the sedan home... Ordered it a new water pump.

tried to rectify annoying gremlins with misfire, iac issues and unresponsive brand new tps.....
made it run worse.....
swore at it.....
told it no matter how much the retard who owned it before me molested it.... it still doesn't deserve me or the thousands of dollars I've spent on it trying to make it a pristine example of a series 2 vq v8 caprice......
told it my vh ss deserves all the time and money I've wasted on it....
contemplated lighting a match and walking away.....
realised 30 mins drive from home is too far for me to walk home in the rain.....
swore at it again and forced it to take me home........
I hate my daily.... I hate the moron from west Gosford supercheap who owned it before me and so far every single thing he replaced or touched/tampered with... I've had to replace again and redo properly.......
On the upside.... tomorrow..... I have a hammer....

noticed a rubber squeaking type noise whilst reversing up the driveway and turning the wheel, then it stalled half way up the driveway left it there, if the folks need to go out tomorrow they can deal with it.

Went to swap the water pump over in my sedan.
This happened.

So changed the starter on the Wagon and left the sedan like that.
Wags required the pipes out, rocker cover off, air intake pipe removed, cruise control bracket removed. What a pain in the ass.
