  Thanks, I never can remember how many KW is in a HP.  It just never seems
to stick.  It seemed like the numbers weren't that high though since that
would be max power usage and it shouldn't be running at max just to
turn the engine over.  Otherwise there wouldn't be enough power to
"crank the car in gear" as many of us have done on occasion.  I just
remember there was a number that if it exceeded, while cranking the
engine, we were to replace the starter.  At the dealer you don't do
ANYTHING except replace things.  No fixing allowed even though that'd
keep the shop income up more than kicking the parts income up PLUS
make happy customers.  :P
