Okay, I drove around this afternoon with the a/c off and redlined it a few times with no problems. I think I love redlining 3rd gear the most, btw. I went to PepBoyz and bought a bottle of Techron FI cleaner and threw that in the tank. Also, bought a big tube of dielectric grease. Gonna clean all the connections this evening and slather them with the dielectric and see if that makes a difference. Check the easy/simple things first, right?
