Re: Gas(Petrol) Prices and Neutral light

["Neil Lindsey" <neil@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Interesting.  There's no reason to dispute your description of the
flickering neutral light, no matter how odd it sounds, but there's also the
possibility that it all makes perfect sense to the guy that programmed the
ECU.  I have no idea what kind of neutral sensor is used, but it doesn't
sound like it's working too well to me?
