[V8] Fueling Dilemna

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Well, I unplugged the oxygen sensor for now and aside from the check  
engine light, the symptom appears to have disappeared. Good guess,  
Ron.  So I've got to get a new one. Then the inner door unlock handle  
broke Saturday -- so I need to adress that, too.
