i dont need to make a list your claim is wrong from point one you claim a finite phase space is greater than an infinite phase space. you actually proved my point by trying to narrow down the parameters of your original statement because even you know it is wrong. you went from saying by proxy of negative association that; the only fuel problem that is not monitored by the pcm is fuel pressure directly to the pcm catches all fuel delivery problems unless they are pressure related. those are two very different claims. so why should i respond with any sort of list when you cant even make up your mind about what you mr. high and mightly are right about and just so you leave with some extra knowledge just about any soluble or distillate you can imagine can do this and not be detected by the pcm. .

im wondering if its a vacumm leak somewhere. is the heater control/blend door vacuum operated the mode door is vacuum-operated selects defrost/panel/floor vents. the blend door is mechanical. its spring-loaded and a steel cable connects to the dial on the hvac controls. remove the dash bezel two screws in the cupholder two in the ashtray then remove the hvac control 3 or 4 bolts/screws. disconnect the cable from the control on the back and tug on it gently. you should feel some tension on it. if it goes slack the blend door is probably wedged. to repair that means removing the hvac box and that means recovering the a/c draining the coolant and removing the entire dash. not a very fun job... .

re national used car locator i saw one or two by way of the l.a. times website. i ran a rare car that i was seeking to evaluate the 98 daewoo nubira and found a place in mid-america that has quite a few used ones and there are some other used places too with daewoos. so i think there are on-line co-ops and other such; but dont have the links readily available except recalling www.latimes.com which requires free registration for cookie because everybody has to make a buck .
