Thanks for advice received so far. From the digging I have done to now,
it is looking as if this is an adventure, not a simple motorcar
purchase. Oh, well. I notice already it is bigger than the 900 for
people but smaller for cargo. Even with the seat down.

1) I posted before that when coming up a long hill (several mile long
hill starting around 6,000 feet elevation) the engine quit while cruise
control was on - twice.

Now it did it again. Once with CC on and once with CC off. Simply
switching off the key and switching back on again (manual transmission,
still in gear) fixes the problem. I can live with that, my wife probably
can't. I don't think this is the DI cassette. Plugs look really new and
are gapped right. I don't have the dielectric grease yet, though.

2) Also, when we bought this, the ACC would blow hot air unless you
lowered the temp to "LO". I reset the thing by pressing and holding Auto
and <==> at the same time according to the owner's manual. That fixed it
and it would actually work pretty well. Note that the outside temp
sensor that sits under the front bumper is missing and that does show up
as a fault. I am in the process of getting one.

Well, today driving around, all of a sudden, the thing blew hot air
again. Not having the manual with me, I reverted to "LO" and got cold
air back. After coming home and reading the manual I pressed and held
Auto and <==>; it reset just fine and blew cold again on auto.

Manual says this happens if the ACC loses power, like if you disconnect
the battery. But, this happened while I was driving.

So it seems that there are some electrical intermittents with this car.

Suggestions welcome.

Thanks,

Charles.
