[T3] Mistery Miss

[Daniel K. Du Vall]

Right on Jim that's what I despise nowadays about most shops. They relay too much on the technology to point out problems and too much on replacing parts to find the fix. Learning to trouble shoot is a skill that no money can buy ;-)

Probably  not. There are so many possibilities that picking one from our past is like shooting ducks in the dark.

I'm not a fan of the, "Let's replace this part, because sometimes they fail," school of troubleshooting. That's just a way to maximize your expense. There are almost always ways to do some kind of testing that either confirms to eliminates possibilities. Testing leads to better understanding and minimizes costs and labor.
