If I knew what had been cut/spliced/bypassed, I'd exorcise the thing, but
tracing all the wiring is 'way too time-consuming to be practical or possible.
Any thoughts?
There's not that many ways to build a fuel enrichment circuit. Most
likely it's spliced into the WOT switch on the throttle body, and the
coolant temp sensor on the side of the head. Check out this page, the
"Installation" section towards the bottom:

Oh, and to compound the problem, the clutch is now slipping, with 214,000
miles on probably the original. No big deal, I've replaced enough of them, but
it makes driving a car that surges and stumbles a real delight! Chicago
rush-hour traffic is the perfect place to try, by the way. At least the
streets are basically flat . . .
Ugh, good luck... I just finished dropping in a new engine (spun a
bearing...), and today the tranny got stuck in third gear... I managed
to get it unstuck with some major pulling on the lever, but a brief
search of vortex leaves me suspecting that it may be completely f*cked
in the near future... Anyone here have personal experience with this
problem? :(
Cheers,
Oleg
