Well, obviously, something isn't working quite as planned. Seems to me if some dust got in there, some un-coolness could happen. And, in any case, it also seems like it doesn't take all of NASA to figure out what went wrong -- folks like us are probably better suited. Anyone have a Toyota they'd like to take apart?<BR>

They are incredibly dependable these days for one thing. And if one is used to control the speed of the vehicle, it would almost certainly provide the absolute angle of rotation rather than a relative value based on two bits of constantly changing information. I believe that the gentleman was speculating based on his prior experience with what was practically a stone-age control system. Does Toyota publish the specifics of their speed control system? <BR clear=all><BR>-- Don<BR><BR><BR>
