Hi Dale,


 RH> We're trying.  Went down to the dealer to turn in the rental Friday

 DS> Very nice car, and when it was not acting up it ran quite well.  Good

 DS> They kept telling us "the car computer is not reporting any error, so

 DS> Well, Duh, maybe the problem is *IN* the car computer!

We've not had the temper tantrums yet but it's getting close to that
point.  We're seriously thinking of talking with Ford higher ups to see
what they'll give us toward a new car but have to do some number
crunching to see if we can do payments on a more limited income.


 DS> Actually, they eventually discovered that the connection of the wiring
 DS> harness or whatever that fed into the computer had a bent pin and was
 DS> making a loose connection that would fall out and cause the computer
 DS> to restart.

The first time we had the car in, the diagnostic computer didn't show
anything.  Now it's showing problems and parts have been replaced
accordingly but they just haven't hit on the magic part.  Some of the
wiring harness was replaced last time; this time they're going to re do
the rest of it.

Should I feed this to Steve when he's trying to learn Greek?  Think it
might help?  He also has to have sme basic Hebrew study; he's not
looking forward to either one.
