Has anyone ever formulated a very simple easy-to-follow list of things to check or steps for recovery when problems occur on the road? If not, this would be very helpful to many especially those who are not technically knowledgeable about even some of the basics of our XF operation.
Cheers,
Jack

Early on, we had cars failing left and right. What I mean is, the SAME car was failing left and right.
The reason is in bold italic above. Once we learned this, and once we got people to LISTEN and stop buying generic sensors at Autozone, issues died down.
