Older vehicles that have computers to control engine operations have some form of EEC computer. All the computer does is complicated things dealing with engine operations, mainly air/fuel mixture. Nowadays all vehicles have OBD computer systems (OnBoard Diagnostic) that control various other things and can be plugged into computers to determine a problem if there is one.

Unless of course it is the problem.
I like Vibes, my friend left her gas cap off avter getting gas and the light came on, 2 trips at $75.00 each and they told her to tighten her gas cap all the way.
Overly smart alec vehicles these days.

What the hell is an Index Plate? And I'll stick with my trusty Yamaha thank you. No damn computers on that!

A nickle, yes, a dime, maybe, but never anything more.
Which, while my car almost moves without any government tracking is what it does to me.

That would be the plates on the front and back of your car with all the pretty letters and numbers on.

All it took was the word "her" to make you start dribbling? That's several steps beyond desperation.

I didn't check Flare over Christmas, but that's hardly a reason to ignore a chance for a sarcastic reply.

True...some things are just too good to reply to. A sort of Carpe Diem thing.
