Have clock spring replaced. The throttle position sensor circuit for the
engine is effected by the clock spring when it fails bringing on the ck
engine light on.

I assume that includes an extortionate rate for fitting it ? The entire
cruise control system
is less than $250, which I fitted it in around an hour and a half (it was a
LHD kit on a RHD car,
I'm sure better amateur wrenches than I could do it quicker); the
clockspring itself I would
have thought you could do in 30-45 mins.
