lots of parts waiting in the garage, yet not much to say, since discovering this:
both fuel lines are corroded and the brake line is as well. the 4th line is EVAP which was deleted.
slow leak, no drip, still had pressure. just sent it to a shop. would've done this myself, but if i did my fuel lines wrong and had a leak/fire, i would never forgive myself.
or if i bled/bent/reassembled the brake lines wrong, and lost pressure on the highway...
shop has had my car for over a week.
