So I spent lunchtime kneeled behind my car in the office parking lot (in slacks) affirming everyone's suspicions that I'm a lunatic. Pulling this IC with crappy tools bummed from trunk toolkits isn't the same. Others walked a wide berth past me to their Nissans and Hondas while I had my arm crammed under the IC, revving the engine resetting my idle mix.
Of course I had to test it out... a quick left onto the main road at full lock
"Yes I believe we have restored power..."
