in line 6 2wd. 205k miles.automatic, its green.

this has been the best purchase of my life (save for the mail-order bride)
but I've got a couple of
"dumb guy" questions.

1) a month ago, I was towed, (no mech. problem, lets just leave it at
that,ok?) and my ABS light came on when I picked the car up. no codes, just
the light. In the course of normal operation, I've done the 50 start cycles,
but the light is still on. Do I need to use some ranger rick secret de-coder
ring? or do I have to do the chickens sacrifice again?

2) a "starting" problem.
when I first crank, it will not start. I have to crank for 5-10 seconds,
then recrank, and it will start right up, no worries.
This happens when hot, cold, over night, after a 10 minute, or 2 hour drive.
It is independant of weather, temp, or operational conditions.

as an aside, I get 17-19 mpg city, 22-24 hwy on regular. I change oil every
3-4k, carries 20lbs of pressure, all in all, a great vehicle.

"A car is like a woman. If you give them what they need before they know
they need it, they won't leave you by the side of the road"

thanks.
