Boy if that was related to heads that would be scary lol. Could have something to do with worn relays or sendor sticking or something silly like that--I hate electrical--always chase my tail.

Aw--they can give you fits but deep down they're not so scary. Long as you monitor and keep up with the maint all will be fine.
Now my wife on the other hand--she won't even attempt to start it and I can get away with upgrades if I tell here it's necessary hahaha

Thought it did? Maybe its a different livewire unit that does. You need scangauge or obdii adapter and torque pro or das boss. Ect,eot, icp ipr, ficm volt, volt, all the normal stuff needs to be monitored--will set you at ease.
