My car may be old, but the IFI injection computer and RLC were replaced before I got the car; I don't recall the date of the repair, but I think it was two or three years ago. One major symptom of these parts being changed is that I now have start lock-out, which wasn't on the car when it shipped. But it's my understanding that the seat memory is not in either of these parts. I don't know where the window and mirror memory sits.

Hey Matt L - you stated the emissions tests showed ready (?) on the OBDII port after a week w/battery disco'd? - maybe I didn't leave my battery disco'd long enuff after doing some emissions work . . . ? interesting . . .
