Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I have had 6 cats fail on me!It was finally determined that the problem was that I was running the PSE in the "open"constantly in fact I hadn't had the electronics installed .It wasn't untill PCNA started getting upset that It was recommended that I have the PSE stuff installed it seems to have solved the problem.My cats were sort of melting down from the core.

Mine went bad at about the same mileage. It actually first manifested as a rattle. Something inside had broken loose. CEL came on several hundred miles later.
