Re: [T3] My mis-matched FI

<x-charset iso-8859-1>I am now actually quite familiar with the general way the system is supposed
to work, more so that I ever wanted to be.  Thanks for your write up, I will
definitely add it into my ever growing stash of D-Jet articles, favorites,
and assorted stuff :)

What I REALLY...outta to do is spend a day and do a continuity check on all
the wiring from the brain as Jim has suggested. That would ensure that
everything is going where its supposed to, and is actually connected.
<sarcasm> I cant tell you how much I am looking forward to doing that
