1)Everyone
2)And it was a 100% COMPLETE joke..Confirmed by GM's switch back to Q-jets.
3)"Mis-fire"?The laughing stock of fuel management systems.With the exception of the late 50's-early 60's mechanical FI,"Cross-fire"was THE worst FI system EVER designed.
4)Sorry,the Z-car had a Bosch FI system on it in 1975.
5)And changing to FI is going to help them-how?
