But it jiggling the shifter can change the behavior, could this not be a
shifter bushing problem?

Yes! Good catch. If the shifter is sloppy, the plastic bushings at
each end of the rod from the shifter to the trans need to be replaced
first. That will likely cure the park switch issue. Glenn did not
say that the shifter was sloppy, but often you don't notice until the
bushings are repla

They're behind the viscous clutch, aren't they? Quite visible,

I have seen an incorrect removal severely damage them; the traces on the board

Epoxy forms a waxy skin as it cures. You need to sand it lightly before you can
get paint or more epoxy to really stick to it.

Just go to hobby store (you have a Michaels around?) and get a little
bottle of pigment. You will need just a touch. Put your base on a
piece of cardboard, put a touch of pigment on, stir it around with a
little stick, then put a squeeze of the catalyst on and mix it, yer good
ta go, no more
I think I prefer the idea of by sanding the repaired surface and then spray
painting it glossy black, taking care to mask the metal bayonet part.

The shifter is not sloppy and when I've jiggled the shifter when the car won't

Another possibility is that the wire to the caliper/pad is rubbing somewhere
else and shorting - causing the light to flicker while the pad is still
good.

Possible, that's why I need to explore.

Lampblack would certainly work better than toner since toner has all sorts of

So, what's the easy way to test the amount of ethanol? Specific gravity?
Wouldn't condensed water in the gasoline affect that measure
