[V8] Pulled codes, no joy

[Tony and Lillie]

I did drive the car, and it was ndeed in limp mode (I know the mode all to 
well, 3 months in the wife's before fixing). His car is a 1990 model, I'm 
not sure build date or serial, as I haven't seen it in a while. This may be 
different throughout the years, I just know how wis behaved.
