I'm going to re-check/re-attach my 02 sensor wires and flash my CPU again and see what happens. The cel only came back on after a 120 mile round trip I made on Monday. Before that it was off for more than a week. Before our trip to the fun farm it has never (since I owned it) been on. So i'll try that tomorrow. I will post the results.
Did you check out the wiring from the O2 sensors to the PCM??? Could be a broken wire....

I had my T-stat go out earlier this year. My temp guage never indicated a gradual heating of the coolant. In fact, it shut down once and was steaming good and my temp guage indicated 210* Replaced sensor and t-stat and all was good.

As far as my stat, I replaced fan clutch, water pump and thermostat less than 4 months ago. I would put my money on a bad sensor.

After we went wheeling at the farm I noticed 3 wires hanging down from the cat. Upon further inspection I ripped all four wires from the cat to the pcm. I repaired all and cel went out and stayed out after I flashed it. Now its back on. So I need to check my repairs.

Looks like they are at least easy fixes

Anybody here done a gear swap that can show me the ropes? Will be getting a rebuild kit for the front LPD30, replacing carrier, ring & pinion gear. Never done one before, would be nice if someone could look over my shoulder and point out all of the mistakes I'll be making 
Planning on doing it around the end of the month, will have access to a heated garage and food. If you drink, let me know what type of beer/liquor, as I don't drink.
Gotta do something, got passed up by a moped on Rt40 this AM
