Re: [T3] Fuel injection troubles have defeated me so far :UPDATE

This is not good... if something binds up try going the other way for a turn
or 2, then back and  forth.. it will usually free it up but it seems too
late for this.

If your luckey and have a universal head you may have another sensor boss
below the 3 & 4 exaust outlet.  Otherwise drill and tap.  Its a special
thread,  I think Jim A knows exactly what, so youll probably have to get a
tap.

Bummer! but still not a disasterous problem.
