Message	just cleaned all the injector connectors yesterday with wd40 and the z runs so smooth now. got rid of all my intermittent exhaust pops and hesitation. i didn't have any dielectric grease at the time, so wondering if the wd40 would hold up okay in the heat? also- finally fixed my erratic idle issue (750-1600rpm). liberally sprayed throttle body cleaner into the air regulator hose and now its rock steady, where it should be. thanks!
