[s-cars] New faltering problem

[Robert Myers]

Mark,

Scott may have put the fuse location info in his website but that doesn't 
mean I could find it there.  Where is that bugger?

Needless to say, the new OXS did not help at all.  So much for my failing 
sense of humor, Tom.  ;-)

As per other suggestions, the fuel pump is virtually brand new - less than 
1,500-2K miles on it.  I guess that doesn't mean automatically that it is 
good but that would put it quite a way down on the list of suspects.

Bob
