In the heat of battle the mechanic might have disconnected some vital item. I've seen this happen more times than I can remember. The worst example was when my mother-in-law had a replacement engine installed and the mechanic forgot to install the throttle return spring. Damn near killed her in the 5 miles from the shop to her home. George |
