OK So now it is time for a chip. Have you tried the Steve Wong chip yet or get one from Jason and give it a try? From my experience it is the AC that creates the biggest problem for the ISV so the fuel must come back on quicker.

Thanks for sharing your failure and frustration. It's sure to save someone(me) from the same.

By the way, the flapper valve in your picture rotates upwards, past the hole and then opens fully. When it closes it goes PAST closed to slightly open. It appears that someone has taken a screw driver and attempted to push the valve open in the downward direction in your photo. That does not work.

In all seriousness, it doesn't take much pressure with a flat blade screwdriver to deform/scar the leading edge of the thing enough to cause it not to work. Trust me. Don't try this at home, kids.
