2111 code....check engine light

[Larry C Leung]

Unfortunately, Doyt's ECU doesn't have the ability
to store codes or memorize anything, so this can't
be the issue. Once the ignition is off, the memory's 
gone. So, no need to reset. 

As for the highest octane gas, my MC2 (higher 
compression) 10VT runs fine on 93 octane, and
it's chipped to 1.8 bar. So, there is little need to
run anything higher than 93 octane, unless something
else is wrong (like, the established engine speed
sensor, which should be replaced). If you needed
higher octane gas than you are currently running, you'd
get knock sensor limit exceeded codes (don't know
the codes, as my Bentley is for an '89 and later 200,
which is MC2). Since Doyt's car has a single knock
sensor, he'll have to refer to his earlier car Bentley.
