I have the software, and I loaded your file. I'm new at this, so I don't know what I'm doing yet. I figured out how to replay everything. I see 2 fail codes in the test tab, both called MANUDEF with a CID of $21. I have no idea what any of this means, and the software doesn't explain anything. Since I don't have my car's data yet to compare it too, its tough for me to comment.
  I just figured something else about this that I had previously missed.  Two things, actually.  I figiured this out as I was sifting through data from a friend's car, that has suddenly shown substantially-decreased fuel economy, and a change in how it sounds.  I'm looking at the TESTS tab from this car, and all the tests are called ?MANUF DEF?.  The system, as I have it configured doesn't know the names or meanings of test results for a 2000 Buick.  It probably knows then for my Mystique only because I've downloaded and installed the ?Defined Ford test results file?.  The other thing I had failed to notice before is that there are two columns that contain hex numbers.  When you referred to a CID of $21, saw the TID column, and seeing no $21 in there, didn't know what, further, to think.  I now see that TID $10, CID $21, is the CATRAT2 result on my machine, but if you don't have the ?Defined Ford test results file?, then to you, it's probably just ?MANUF DEF?.

Moonlight Blue 1996 Mercury Mystique GS , Zetec engine, ATX.  No mods. (Well, OK, one mod.  Before I got rid of my previous car, a 1994 Tempo, I swapped radios.  I liked the Tempo's radio better.  That counts as a mod, doesn't it?  I also kept one of my Tempo's wheels to use as a spare.  I hate those stupid ?compact? spares that come with modern cars.  Does this count as a mod?  If so, I guess I have two mods.  Replaced burned/melted blower switch and connector on 19 February 2002 with a 1P3T toggle switch from Marvac and a Molex connector from Rat Shack; I guess this now makes three mods.)
