GTR,

With the motec systms that they all use, it's a pretty sophisticated little jigger and it runs the car through a warm up procedure where all the vitals (engine temp, oil pressure, mixture settings, etc) are all monitored and checked. But it doesn't do one vital thing and that's put the engine and drivetrain under load.

A motor can show perfectly normal readings when stationary or in pit lane under no load, but then drop onto seven cylinders or not pull cleanly on a warm up lap.

In Bowe's case, I heard zero oil pressure, they replaced a sensor but still nothing.

So save an $80k motor and call it "mechanical problems" and look at it back at base.
Christ your funny, Dave.

"Pretty sophisticated little jigger" indeed. It's a lowest tender spec unit that's more akin to an electronic carby!
