Some of my experiences with the manual and electrical troubleshooting have led
me to believe that you can't always believe what you see in print.
For instance, I had a bugaboo trouble-shooting situation, and I was in a process of
elimination, as far as checking the ignition and injection components. So I am reading
ohms from the pinouts on the ecu connectors. And some numbers that I am getting
aren't jiving with what's in the book.
As it just so happens, I have an identical car parked next to it. So I read the pinouts
on the other car, and it was the same as car #1. Not all of them, but I think a couple.
I find the probing into the depths of the car's operating system to be scary, like it's
written in code or something. Wait- it is- isn't it?
