That doesn't help with traction, but it does put a big grin on your face.

Yep, that will do it. Thats the one I had problems with. Glad you've got it fixed.

Now go find that empty parking lot.

i had the same condition on an 03' we put a radix on at the shop. unfortunatly it made it worse the the fuel pump was bad before the radix was even put on, but the cut in the o'ring sure didn't help. btw, the best way to test it when you are done is long smokey burnouts.
