Art--

It was manufactured in April, 1993, so the last full month (I believe) of the 240 model production.

Also, yesterday, I checked the engine grounding strap (if that's what it's called, the woven cable that goes from one of the valve cover nuts to the firewall). The cap nut at the valve cover was not rock solid tight; in other words, I was able to tighten it a little (not sure how many degrees I was able to turn it, but it did turn without having to apply "a lot" of torque. I'm wondering and hoping that this was the cause of the problem. And also wondering that if this could cause loss of the radio code (an ungrounded, I guess (?), battery).
