RE: CIS-E III Questions.

[Ed Kellock <EKELLOCK@ecs-inc.com>]

I'm still thinking worn out, broken, or missing motor mounts.  That
might explain both problems.  If the engine is torqing over too much, it
could be putting tension on some wiring somewhere.  I've experienced the
same steering behavior in my 87.5 Coupe.  I know my mounts are very
tired.
