[s-cars] Missing information - Found!

[Robert Myers]

Feico, Paul, and all the others who responded.  Thank you - Thank you- 
Thank you.

I followed the advice given and pulled the coil pack.  I removed the clamp 
(if that's what you would call it) which compresses and anchors the wiring 
harness as it exits the coil pack heading toward the firewall 
connections.  Pulled back the fiber insulation sheath and found some bare 
wires inside where it passes under the clamp.  Insulated same, put it all 
back together, and went for a test drive.  My engine is missing no 
more.  Once again I learn something new.

They will have to shoot me to get the grin off my face.  Full RS2 
performance is back.  YeeeeHaaaaaaaa!!!
