My being busy hasn't changed but my luck may have. I knew I was going to have problems with this van but wasn't expecting as many electrical issues as there are. Luckily most of them don't affect driving and of the ones that do, they are transmission related which is annoying but relatively cheap and easy to fix.
A mechanic loaned me a scanner that I haven't had time to use. I may buy one just so I don't have to pay for it to be done at a shop and can do it when I have time but finding one that is a live data scanner for something this old that had the latest updates might be difficult.
More later...
