Is there an "inertia switch" on Chevys? I once borrowed a F150 pick-up which quit running after I hat a particularly bad pothole.

I'd think there'd be a code for that too, though. > I once borrowed a F150 pick-up which quit running after I hat a > particularly bad pothole.

Was it a rental? Good thing they don't put those on dirt bikes. |
