[Shotimes] Codes 176 & 214

[Mike Bruce]

What are you talking about?  The year is 1997, The Spice Girls are at
the top of their game, and the president's a Demi-crat.  Yeah, I know
I'm living in the past.  I had to set the computer back so that my copy
of AutoCAD 2002 would function.  It's a demo copy that expired a year or
so ago.

Thanks for catching that.  This message should have the correct date.  

Do you think it would help if I were to take the sensor off the car,
clean the rotor and magnet housing, and reinstall.  I don't want to have
to put new parts on a car with a leaky cam seal.  Otherwise, I'll just
continue driving the car as it is until the next batch of +20 cams is
made.

are you aware that your computer thinks it's 1997? all the posts I get 
from you are dated 1997, and turn up at the bottom of the stack... my 
messages are sorted by date...
