The service guy at the dealer has several IRCMs in his personal parts supply that
don't match....(but they might not be SHO IRCMs).  He says they have to have the
same color labels, and have the same letter.  I'm going to check the other two SHOs.

It would make sense that all '90 SHOs have red labels and have the same letter, but
for individual SHOs to be different....I'll have to withdraw my compliments for
Ford's EFI system if Lowrider retires prematurely simply because there isn't another
red labeled IRCM around, and that's what they say it has to have.

By the way...the dealer definitely suspects the IRCM, because he cannot read the
codes....the PCM will not communicate.

...and, as an afterthought....I am very pleased that this dealer (compared to the
other local one I used to use) respects the knowledge that I have regarding this
car....most of which came from this list......thanks again, list.
