[Shotimes] Lowrider's Coming Home

[Carl Prochilo]

What is a DPFE sensor?  I'm trying to find this in the service
manual for my 92.

BTW, you crack me up with your revelation.   You're lucky that
shorting power and ground only prevented the car from starting and
didn't fry other electrical components.
