i'm having my supra buddy (mr.supra) put in a spare cps he has... i have no idea why i was told by the assitant manager that i need a whole distributor assembly when my car is a turbo. then again this was over the phone and i wasn't looking at who i was talking to... so hopefully she'll be running free again some time tomorrow evening. so far this is promising to end happily!so in the end, diagnostics showed that a busted cps will tell the computer to tell the ignition system not to start. nothin to do with the alarm system. but yet another reminder how far ahead the electronic system in m3 model really was for its time.
as a side note, my dad was the one that wanted this car sold because we've run out of garage space and i don't have a spot at my condo... but with all the attention she gets on the road and by neighbors and the fact he's a toyota nut he's having second thoughts!
