Guys- with repect to the scanners... they aint perfect... to wit:
I to had a problem with surging. except that mine was @ 69-70 MPH (no
problems higher OR lower) and the dealers scanner (DRBII?) said all
was copacetic. Well, $350 of shot-in-the-dark troubleshooting later,
The TPS was replaced and fixed the problem. Every single scan prior to
that said the TPS was perfect. And these scans were performed *at* 69-70
MPH during the surges... go figure...
what ever happen to the old time mechanics, that could diagnose a problem
half-in-the-bag from 20 paces? They didn't have any stinkin scanners!

We as normal people (the Politically correct version of dakotaholics)
should be able to live and learn. (from others too if possible..)
thats what separates us from animals and lawyers!
