Q: maxpower wrote get used to it wait untill the manufactuers are required to install transponders on all cars for emissions if your check engine lite comes on it will send the dmv your vehicle info and that will require you to have it fixed in a certain amount of time of be fined its if the check engine light comes on shouldnt you.... check the engine! 99% of the time when that light comes on something to broken and needs to be fixed anyways. it would be a good motivator for people like my parents that drive for months with the maintenance required light on. i just read in autoweek about how they were testing some new chevy i think it was the malibu max while taking it though the slalom the onstar voice came on and said collision detected calling onstar they had a fun time explaining to the onstar person that there was no collision and the air bags were not deployed. .

hi i have a 2001 dodge 1500 quad cab. whatever the setting i have on my blowerdirection that is feet front ac etc... if i hit a bump it cause all the air to direct to the windshield basically defog. this will happen for 10 or 15 seconds and then revert back. it happens fairly often every few minutes and is annoying. obviously something has worked loose and is causing the wrong vents to open and close any ideas where to start thanks chris .

you would be able to drive it and it would hesitate thats not your problem i was merely replaying to the post that said it only goes on one way if the sensor were on backwards and broken would i even be able to drive the car let alone get 28 mpg on a trip of 1000 round trip miles the car runs good above about 1200 to 1300 rpm. -- budd if it wasnt important enough for you to take time to vote then its not important to me to listen to you whine about who won or lost. you can put the tps sensor on backwards and it wont work...meaning if you flip it around it will screw on and not give a reading this will also damage the sensor no codes but ill clean the throttle body and see what happens. we just got back from a run to phoenix to the wal-mart . . .ok just kidding. went to visit my youngest in school down there and the little bomb did real good other than a bit of surge around town. lol even surprised a few ricer wannabes bg -- budd sorry budd mike is probably out checking the temps of his heated seats... g the tps on your 3 liter is non-adjustable. it only fits on one way with no tweaking allowed. is there any other codes stored the hesitation may be a dirty throttle body which is common on the 3.0 denny mike i just found out from my son that he had the tps off my lebaron 95 3.0 when he was trying to replace the map sensor. is there a specific adjustment procedure to installing it i have slight surge at low speed and occasional hesitation. thanks! -- budd if it wasnt important enough for you to take time to vote then its not important to me to listen to you whine about who won or lost. .

let me do some checking on it with both the navy and hot rod magazine. if you remember different than i do i could be right. bg -- budd i has to i would say. the only way a 747 can accelerate faster than a dragster is to put a small nuke under the tail and light the fuse. it seems i remember hot rod comparing bersteins car to an f-18 cat shot off a carrier . . the jet lost. i think i remember that article a few years back but the catapult won. they staged the test on one of the training cats at some un-remembered base in the southwest. i was very disappointed cause i was sure the jet would loose due to the weight of the beast. denny .
