[ST] RE: Voodoo Mechanics

["Nathan Maher" <nate@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Rod,

Just to back Ken's "3-cycle" theory up, I've been told the same thing from
my dealer.  The one (and only) time that I ran out of gas the engine light
came on and stayed on after the refuel, restart.  I was concerned so I
called the dealer and they told me to perform the 3 complete cycles test to
see if the computer would clear the fault code and go off.  It did.  I have
not, however, heard of the 15 turns of the key method.

Do you Voodoo?

Thanks, guys - it's off.

Ken, where did find out about the 3 cycles of bringing it up to operating
temp?  Another guy on the rat list had a thing with 15 turn on's holding for
5 secs each.   This is kinda voodoo mechanic of the electronics age to me.
I can't stop chuckling about what it took to fix it.   You would think there
would be a document reset procedure of something like hit the starter with
the kill button depressed, not that I would recommend that but, ya know,
something a lot more simple than the 3 cycle method.

Anyhow, thanks a lot,
rod
