[s-cars] New faltering problem

[Tom Green]

That's the stuff that makes legends, Mark.  It's not the first report  
that the vaunted fault code system comes up blank just when you need  
it.  The intermittant
CPS fault has left some in the cold without a code stored.  I hope  
lots of listers read your email.

But, Mr Chips needed his chain pulled since I know he thought of  
codes at the start, but failed to remind us that hardware problems  
kept him from investigating
further.  :-)

The only weird part is owning an s-car that did did not run very well  
for two years.  :-)
