Yes I understand that it is much easier on the car. I was just trying to do what I could today with the weather conditions to try to get the engine under some load and see if the problem still existed. If you feel like making a hard pull in 2nd and 3rd to get the engine under load with a couple inches of snow on the ground and slick road conditions by all means be my guest, but I wasn't about to go there.
From what I have ran into doing searches this is a common problem that plagues a lot of our cars. The main problem being is that everyone in their requests for help fails to come back here and post a reply up to reveal what the cause of all their problems really was. They just take all the info that other posters have provided, find a fix somewhere with all the help, then forget that part where they come back and report in with the news good, bad, or otherwise. I fully intend to keep this thread alive until I am 100% certain I have cured the problem so I can give credit where it is due to those that helped me and give people in the future a thread to come back on that has some sort of closure from the original poster.
If you want to entertain yourself do a search on blowout and check out all of the threads from posters with problems just like or similar to mine that just die off with no closure.
This provides absolutely no help to anyone other than the original poster that is sitting with a fixed car.
Anyways back on topic, as I stated in my last post I will update further, I was just trying what I could today with what mother nature dealt my way. This will be a thread that I share all of my final results with the community, it is the least I can do for the help and suggestions I have received from the responders to my original post.
