No; but i may not know which switch activates it...i _think_ it is the
second-from-left switch in a switch panel near the floor-mounted gear
shift...just to the right of the driver-side window switch...

any idea on who can source me on this? and since, I hear a sound when I
press the switch, think that maybe the glass has slipped off the 'lift'; do
you know if it is easy to the door panel off

i am not sure what/where 'intact tract' or 'O2 sensor' are; hopefully this
will be clarified once I get a manual

I just drove it about 400 miles from LA to San Francisco and only got about
19 miles per gallon(note: the speedometer shows 167,000 miles although it
runs/sounds as if it's got good compression); what mileage should I expect
when tuned properly?

Do you know if the PCNA has any chapters near me in San Francisco?

Thanks again!
