oh' My previous post may have been worded wrong..(forgot need to use
a better choice of words sometimes HERE!)
I'm not a factory trained technician, I work with the info and tools I have
on hand, and I have access to diagnostic equipment at work.
That's why I never use the key cycle deal on my '01,to me that's like using
a butter knife as a screwdriver when I have screwdriver handy.
(probably worded that wrong too)
