Len,

1. The don't make it anymore-they claimed that the could not make it for a low 
enough price to be saleable (that was their story), I suspect that they had 
"problems" that they were not willing to admit to.

2. It has serious issues - the crank trigger sensors have a life of less than a 
year, and the failure is *not* documented or admitted to.   Even though both me 
an another had *exactly* the same symptoms, electromotive did not ever admit to 
the problem.  The base problem was that when cold the crank trigger does not 
work correctly after it gets older (cold is under about 50 F).   And when it 
fails in this way it does not fail gracefully or in a manner that is easy to 
determine.   We debugged mine by putting a sparc checker on it, and realized 
that the last 4 cylinders were not getting fired.   My car would run correctly 
after it warmed up, and the other person actually used a hair dryer to warm it 
up so it would work.   Both sets of symptoms were debugged separately and we 
both make the same conclusions, we only talked after we had both figured out 
the issue.   

And given the discussions I had with electromotives tech people I cannot  
recommend and will not buy any products from them again.

Besides me there are at least 2 others who have had serious issues with the 
crank trigger and are not running the opti-eliminator anymore.   The product 
appears to be worse than the opti in terms of reliablity.
