I finally found what I was looking for FICHT.

http://www.findarticles.com/p/articl...1555469?pi=cal

It's a 1999 article involving FICHT and the sequence of what happened
and how - it's a fair and balanced straight forward evaluation and
reporting of what actually happened with FICHT rather than the screed
by SHE WHO MUST NOT BE NAMED.

For the record, if I had to do it over again, I would still own
FICHTS.

Also for the record, I own ETECs.

So the basic contention that FICHT was released to customers without
proper testing and evaluation and the undetected problems (defective
design) with the most popular and first released 150/175 bankrupted the
company is pretty much on the money. Thanks for posting the link.

I wish it had explained why the guy's engines "idling at the dock" bit
it. Was it the mapping of the ecu or some other problem?
