this is correct info. thereafter, a computer was added and they added the E on the end for electronic-controlled. i would prefer a non-computer controlled model, since i've never had a problem with them. add in a computer and all of a sudden i need a laptop to interface with my car instead of a screwdriver. it's not that we hate modern cars, it's just that we got used to the old fashioned way of interfacing with them. change can be good, but people will always balk at it.
there is a lot of hair splitting going on in this thread. just thought i'd throw that in.
