1. Thanks to all who responded to my post regarding a no start in sub 20
degree temps - the problem was solved by replacing a weak starter. Started
right up at +6 F this morning :-).

2. The new puzzler (rather a continuing one that is becoming more
objectionable): An intermittent loss of power. Periodically over the last
several months a sudden loss of power would occur. No identifiable set of
circumstances, but always cured immediately by the Microsoft solution -
switching the ignition off and restarting. The loss of power condition is
characterized by misfiring at all speeds, but doesn't die. Horrible gas
mileage and a seemingly rich mixture. On the freeway, it will run better at
full throttle. The middle half of the throttle is a virtual dead band with
the power output actually decreasing sometimes with wider openings until the
engine catches at near full throttle.

The new twists are that the loss of power seems to be provoked by sustained
heavy engine loads and is not remedied by the restart. However the bus runs
fine the next day, at least to work and back.

New wires and AFM.

A possibly related condition: Flooding out a few seconds after a cold
start - starts right up in the "clear" mode.

Thanks,
