    Thank you. I can now rest easy. I was about to lift the car and look under.

    As far as replacing the conectors, you can just pop off the end and put on another. It takes a special tool, but not a long process. If you look at the connector there are the two opening where it connects adn two others below it. Put a small pick or tool in the bottom hole and the wire pops out. The things I have learned inthe past by breaking things I never should have.

    Any special tips prior to restart? Just turn the key and let it rest for a minute until fuel pressure builds up and then crank? Going to change oil after runs a bit incase anything got in there.

    Oh, and the leaking coolant elbows over time leaked onto the power wteering lines and they are rusted and need replaced. Got a quote for $1000 to replace both from the dealer.

    dont let the dealer change the lines, they are easy to change.
