Three individuals, a chemical engineer, a mechancal engineer, and a computer
engineer,  were traveling in their vanagon to a specified site.  Driving
along, their faithful Digifant WB motor sputtered  and their trip ground to
halt on the side of the highway.  Being tinkerers as they were. The chemical
enigineer stated it must be a fuel problem and went about fidgeting with the
fuel lines, checked the filter, etc.,all to no avail.  The mechanical
engineer disagreed and went to brief work checked the fuel and oil pump,
turned the motor over by hand and used the ingenius method, screwdriver to
the ear while dry cranking.  None of these solutions turned a positive result
and the van continued to remain quiet.  In desperation, they turned to their
computer engineer friend(somewhat loathed because of his wealth and the ugly
microsoft monogrammed shirt he always wore).  They immediately started
shooting questions at the  about the O2 sensors, the AFM, the ECU, the KYB,
the MTA, NYPD, and the OBGYN thingamaJig.  If only they had an OBDC to figure
out the problem the ME, and ChE stated.  The Computer Engineer pondered these
questions as they sat back to back in their disabled vehicle. A twinkle came
to his eye, a flash of inspiration and truth. The solution is quite simple he
illustrated, after all you can't always fix the computer.  So off they went.
All opened their doors, got out, walked around the vehicle once. got back in,
shut the doors, and lo and behold, the vehicle started!  Off they went
happier then ever.  The only peculiar things were that the odometer read
0000000 miles and the clock incessantly flashed "DOS" and the vin plate
manufactured year read 1901.
