[s-cars] Re Fuel injector code

[Tom Green]

Very few of the DTC's generated  are straightforward in  
interpretation and
require the repair manual to interpret and lay out a troubleshooting  
plan
to determine the problem.  Many of them result from a different  
failure, so
those are "false".

Even Bentley is not sufficient and the list experience is invaluable in
solving some issues.  Consider the CPS issues and access to a
cheap sensor and change procedure developed by guys posting on this
list, and how much more difficult it was when the dealer part was the  
only
option at $400.  This is just an example--there are many more  
significant
contributions--but, you wouldn't be getting this quick advice, "it's  
probably
the CPS, just change it", if it still cost $400 and you had to remove  
the
timing belt following the repair manual.  It's a lot easier to  
"blame" the
CPS now that it's a $10 part,  even when no code is present.
