Re: oxy sensor counter

[Huw Powell <human@nh.ultranet.com>]

There's a kind of mainspring thing that slowly gets wound up, one
complete turn and the light goes on.  When you push the button you are
releasing the gear ratchet and the spring returns to the rest position,
ie ucoils one turn.  Really hokey compared to the underhood version on
earlier cars.

good luck!
