[Magdalen] Car Prayers Needed

[Lynn Ronkainen]

heard something on "the car guys" (NPR) this morning that sounded like this 
same problem... the solution was to replace a kind of  regulator, that when 
'broken' tells the engine that the car is going faster than it really is so 
the engine changes mode, which in at a slower/normal speed (maybe normal 
driving at 50-60mph) causes all kinds of problems. The device was 3 words 
with an acronym for the 'name' of the actual device.  Apparently this 
problem is not easily spotted with the way they 'plug your engine' in and 
run the data on a computer.  Maybe someone in the pub knows what this device 
is... just a thought.

meanwhile, prayers for  car and you Christopher!

single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything You gave me."
