IT LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AFTER ALMOST A YEAR OF HYBERNATION I HAVE MAJOR BWAAAAAA!!!!
The Yeti fired up with less than two seconds of cranking, just like it had been driven yesterday!! It actually started so quickly it scared me!
I have a few minor adjustments/trouble shooting to do.
• Squishy brakes even after full bleeding
• Squishy clutch
• Clutch adjustment
• Engine had slight miss/back fire and the ARM showed it “searching” between lean and rich….favoring the lean to very lean
Given the above conditions, I didn’t test the clutch/shifting and only let it run in the garage for about a minute then shut her down.
But………I have BWAAAAA!!!!!!!

Scott............well done, congrats.
Is it possible that you could list the pile of material you removed from the auto and the 'new' pile you had to add?..............extensive I bet!
Bleed the brakes /clutch using the power bleeder; easy to use and mess free and shall work in both conventional and 'the tech book' methods (Wallys thread)

Thanks Malcolm,
A write-up with pictures is coming soon.
I did use the power bleeder and used the farthest away method. I will try Wally's new recommendation.

C'mon Scott, I've got a bottle of Techron and time to kill! It's entirely possible that your MAF and LH have not adjusted to the new altitude and the old gas in the tank might not be helping either. Remember it was doing the same thing last time you drove it?

The LH is supposed to be adaptive, and my car after dis- and reconnecting the ground strap idles very lean. It has always richened up (too much, unfortunately) over time. After about a tank of gas, my idle is a bit overly rich and no longer hunts on the AFM. I suspect the early stages of LH failure.
Go drive it!
