Did it just go away after some time?
Happens if you disconnect the battery long enough and then reconnect.

In the Bentley they say to disconect the battery then drive for 10 min. [so its Brain can reset] this I tried ,twice but no help.
I think that [632 Regal]may have something on the 1degre of thiming thing, but which way????? Maby Back 1 degre???? I'm gonna try that next, as soone as it warmes up down here in Key West , Fl. Please let me know if 1 degre back [retarded] is right.
I know that I'm not a great contributer to this Form but I DO lister and learn a bunch from it and without all of you'r help I'd be setting on the side of the road.
Can't try this fix over night but will let you know whar happens when I do.
Thanks again.
