I guess the problem really comes down to when is a cigar actually a cigar, doesn't it? In the case of fully electronically controlled, interfaced and fired engine systems - you have to actually spark it up (so to speak) to find out. In my case, I know in my heart that a long and fairly deep hand check though the electrical loom is going to consume a large part of the coming summer if I want to eliminate the basic loom from future bug hunts down the road. I suppose that is to be expected given the 11 or so years my particular machine has been on the road.
