1999jul13. (dead news link) Federal Government sues Toyota for $56+ BILLION dollars for non-regulatory computerized emission monitors. I’m really torn on this one, lesser evil-wise, but what’s this about hydrocarbon vaport leaks being indicated by simply lighting the “check engine” light? Why isn’t there, say, a two-digital code piped into the dashboard? (I think there is a place you can hook up a little diagnostic device and get the code, but how about something for the driver? how about it, America?)
