After 10 years, I suspect these systems, fed by drifting and degrading sensors, are doing more harm than good

My old 89 Chevy Berretta was a bastard with its sensors. Caused me no end of headaches. Pretty expensive to replace as well.

Kristel's Taurus had a problem in her sensor cluster that kept making the check engine light come on (and making it damn hard to get it to pass emissions/inspection). Mechanics kept replacing the sensors, to no effect and great cost. Finally, the problem was fixed - a tiny $5 hose leading into the cluster was ruptured. No one caught it because it was tucked way up inside.
