I don't work on cars for a living, so my exposure and I am sure most mechanics don't go pulling or replacing DI injectors all that often, so if you have any more data definitely appreciate it.

Thanks for the SST tool part number as well.

The YouTube comments were equally entertaining, especially one from the "F-bomb user" who was amazingly offended by Turbo's use of the word. Welcome to Mechanicsville, kiddo.

The language and entertainment value alone made it worth watching.
Thanks man, the swearing was just a by product of shop work all day everyday. You forget after a while you are mic'd and the cameras are rolling so it was just like you said mechanicsville.

Hope this helps if anyone wants to inspect or tackle this down the road.
