Glad she is back on the road Keith.  If your air door still has the big round solenoid attached, it would be a little difficult to push it in manually.  You can test it by using a jumper wire on the diagnostic port under the ash tray, just like you check for trouble codes. As soon as you jumper the diagnostgic port to check for codes, the door should pop open and stay open until you turn the key off.  Otherwise, it only opens on wide open throttle.

If you can't fix that door you can remove it so it's always open, no harm.

Thanks guys,

I'll try that really soon.  We just got back from a big tour of downtown Tucson including a jaunt
down the freeway.  I found a total of four speed bleeder valves for the rear calipers and made my
every once-in-a-while tour of the music stores in town.  A little networking never hurts in the
music business. 

No troubles to report.  I'm happy to say that AAA was not needed!  I do think we will renew our
membership which expires at the end of this month. I clearly need to get her cleaned up from
sitting in the garage for a couple of months. 

Thanks again for all the help.

Still having fun in the desert.

Keith
