[Shotimes] Now what?

[Derrick Schmidt]

Of course, now that I can read the computer codes on the side of the road,
my car won't do it's "running on 2 cylinders thing".  The coil pack was
replaced and I still get the coil primary error in memory.  Since
replacement it's done it's thing once for a bout 2 minutes.

On the way home from surfing this morning I noticed the temperature gauge
dancing around.  I goes from practically pegged on the cold end of the
gauge to what is normal (historically) indication of temp with a "cycle
time" of about 2-3 seconds.  It doesn't "oscillate" with a regular period
and it seems to go with throttle position under load, not with rpm.  I
can't make myself believe that the temperature is actually varying that
much that fast.

I'm thinking there's something somewhere (described by someone as a
"Gremlin") that is common to all this stuff.

Anyway, more stuff for most of you to ignore.  Overall the car is running
great and if keeps running like this I'll just keep driving it!

Happy Turkey Day to all
