1. Leaky injector
2. Bad regulator.
3. Fuel filter backflow check valve.
There are three kinds of men:

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

Kind of a moot point now. I was loading the car on the trailer this morning to haul it to a friend's house in East TN. Intention being if I had a failure at RFTH I would inly have to worry about getting it to his house to get it back home. Blew the water pump out in the process. So it's going back in the shop to start on the 3800SC swap. Back in the Focus for another run. Darn it.

Nice meeting you this past weekend!
Good luck with your swap. And good luck getting your shifting situation with the Focus sorted out, as well. (I really like that car.)

Nick, if the 3800SC isn't ready next year and you drive the Focus again, be prepared to lead the group.  I think we were probably holding you up. 

I've already been pondering how I could make a different run, but include the last roads that you, Jaydog, and Budgetman missed.  Pine Creek and Walnut Creek Roads make The Dragon look like an interstate.
