[s-cars] After run pump test...

[Nick Stuart]

Thanks, knew it would be something easy. And I'll consider doing that
little modifaction you have there too. Never hurts to give your engine
a little more cooling.

And I was used to my 5000 TQ that would have the after run come on
almost every time I would park it. Dont know how many times people
asked me if i left my car running.  =\
