Wayne: New Idea for a Pelican Parts Wizard......

[RickM]

OK, now that I own a CIS car (MB 380sl) I can really sympathize with the SC crowd.

But as I read this board and one of the Mercedes boards it occurred to me that a CIS troubleshooting/part purchase guide would be valuable. Both these sites have at minimum one CIS related question a day.

If I have a hard warm start the Wizard would provide a series of questions which when answered would lead me to the most probable causes...perhaps with descriptions of tests to verify. Hopefully after any/all tests are performed a relatively informed purchase can be made.

I'd imagine this to be valuable for electrical and mechanical systems as well.

Thoughts?

Yes, this is planned! Along with the brake wizard and the suspension wizard. We're hiring people right now to help with these! Keep watching soon!

Repair or R&R is easy in most cases. Its the troubleshooting that leaves a lot of us cold. That's why the knowledge of folks like JW and other professionals is so valuable. It takes a long time to gain that knowledge since a lot of it is based on experience. Fortunately we on this board have the good fortune to be able to access the experience of others. Even if they've only done a particular thing one time. Another name for the requested "Wizards"could be..."Troubleshooting for the uninitiated". Thanks to all for the wealth of knowledge you all have/are providing.
