I don't understand the computer thing as well as some of you blokes so I hope the bellow link works. I can't upload an image of the red beast. No matter how many photo's I jam into that floppy drive thing, still can read them. maybe the photo's a too floppy for that drive. :?

Do yourself a cheap favour adn get the gas man to finish the last part. If you start cutting to many wires and or short some running back to the computer it will all go pear shaped. They won't charge much for this last tidy up. All the hard work has been done by you so if in dobt still don't risk it.

Doesn't sound good. Try and check these. Gas freezing up is only one thing and that is insufficient water in the cooling system. You must have running coolant throught the converter for them to work and if not they will freeze up. I'm not sure but if there's total internal failure on the converter i...
