[T3] Rev limiting motor

[Hal Sullivan]

On CIS cars, the rev-limiting function is built into the fuel pump  
relay.

Slick piece actually -- teh relay only activates the fuel pump if  
there's a signal from the (-) side of the ignition coil, meaning that  
the engine is turning over.  It also monitors the engine RPM, and if  
it gets "too high" (I think 6000RPM) cuts power to the pump...
