Of course the newer can-bus and other type systems do this just fine...
Of course my 95 TI is now 12 years old.... So the tech back then wasn't as good.
Same applies to O2 sensors, never piggyback a on board display unit with your engine O2, just add a second O2. For no apparent reason last fall I fixed 3 different cars in 2 weeks that were having engine issues by removing the AFR meter from the factory O2 circuit.
It was somehow loading the circuit and the O2 would read too low.
Its weird that stuff comes in waves, 1 week everybody has carb problems, next week they all dump fire-bottles by accident. (Not kidding!)
Darn good thing we had just bought a bunch of recharge kits....
