Yay, she's home! It's good to have all three cars home where they belong. I haven't driven her yet, as I was driving the 85 home, but my husband said she runs great.
Dave, I tried the anti-lock door your keys in the ignition trick and it works! As soon as I closed the locked door, I hear the door unlock. Cool feature.

Neat. This is the first report that this feature actually "works". I can't wait to try it during Operations at my next NCRS judging event. I'm also curious how far back this feature goes, year model wise. I suspect 93, the first year of PKE, but maybe earlier. I don't have Helm's manuals for all the years, so I can't research it on my own. I need empirical input.
Glad you got your 95 fixed. The replacement with the May Suddenly Die opti was probably thought to be an "improvement" at the time it was installedd. I look for MSD components during any pre-purchase inspection, and if found, consider the cost of replacement with OEM componets into the recommendation/ decision for purchase. MSD stuff is not "very good". It just "MaySuddenlyDie", as you found out.

Haha. I'd never heard that - May Suddenly Die. But, that's sure what happened. It was fine in the morning, then running horribly in the afternoon. At least I was able to limp home. Some people end up totally stranded when those go.
I'm glad I could provide some data regarding the lock-out protection feature.
