[s-cars] Running Rich: Help with Fault Code

[Brian Powell]

Tom,

Thanks for the data point. I have a message in to Mihnea about this
issue; however, with his move to the UK, it has been tough to reach
him. Hopefully, before long, I can get him to tune in person.

My mileage has been crappy too. I would think that the O2 control loop
would still be able to dial it back more....
