[V8] Help!! It still doesn't run!!!WTF!!

[Tony and Lillie]

I swapped the sensors with good ones off my running 5ktq. Yes, to start they 
both have to work, but only need the speed sensor to keep running - or was 
that the RPM sensor??? Anyhow, I got the same exact symptoms. Put the 5ktq 
back together - vroom - fired right up.
