Oh I know, we all hate to go there. Like a kid wants to go to the dentist. But your problem sounds complex, there is no ready, easy answer, and I think you will be dollars ahead and have a lot more piece of mind with that very fine car, to let the dealer check it out. They are really the only ones who have the latest in test equipment for the electronics that are on that car. Then I hope you can "stick it" to the person you bought it from. Chances are great he knew he had a problem.
