Put a baggie over the intake with a rubber band, or better yet, get a snorkel. The later really helps in cutting down on ingested dust. -Reed   Dan Armbruster (Dan_armbruster) Member Username: Dan_armbruster Post Number: 103 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Sunday, May 04, 2003 - 02:53 pm:    Thanks guys- Bob I'm still looking and trying to find one with no problems. Dealerships don't seem to carry many 97-99's at a reasonable price. My fuel pump just went out and I'm trying to figure out where I should buy a new one from. Do you know how hard it is to put a new one in?
