@enigma-2 I laid the best woozy on ya!

Me too... wink wink.. Some of those gummies are pretty good, at least for TEXAS.

Not quite there yet but, gettin' close...

What was the warranty period for these batteries? Who makes your brand of battery?

Back in '68, I wanted some of those RWLs too. I had a set of Dayton "Wide Ovals" on my 63

Galixie 500. But, they were black letters only. So, I sat down one day with my bottle of Testor's Model Paint

and paint brush. I then made my own Raised White Lettered tires. (RWL in the tire biz)..

Now maybe he'll go for Gangster Wides. But, this thread is only 10 years old.....

My how things have changed.

On our 22 ST with 22 inch wheels, the wife ran it into a curb destroying the new tires

and I knew the wheels were junk! I took them down to a wheel place and a week later

I picked them up mounted and balanced (I supplied the tires) good as new for a couple

hundred bucks. They looked and work like new.

The work done by some of these places is astounding!

Have you raised the idle while stopped with your foot on the brake too?

If V8, welcome to the world of unbalanced engines as they are configured

as 2, 3 cylinder engines with a common crank.

AS a side note, my 08 (215K miles) does the same at idle in gear, until I press the gas pedal just a bit.

Once they got rid of any thing that resembles an antenna and replaced it with a Ferrite Core,

reception has not been the same! Replacing the "Shark Fin" with "Rubber Duck" or anything

else, might be detrimental to reception too. The antenna for AM reception, needs to be matched

to the radio.

There was a video of them dismantling the Edge production line in Oakville.

But, EVs are not the answer!

In reading the above scenario with the 22 ST, (I have one too) if he did a quick maneuver,

and a transient fault happened (no DTC set) the input could have been changed to last

good known or his quick response. Until the system quits being stupid and go back to "normal",

his inputs will be magnified.

I love the steering in the 22 ST as it is more responsive than our 08 Edge.

Yes on a whim or a lost "bit". No wonder MS Windows is not in the Cockpit.

Thanks @Haz

In all of my years working on multi makes of vehicles, I found that people

that owned a Volvo, needed to.😉

Not a bad deal as it is only 16 !/2 cents per mile + expenses and about 145 gallons of fuel per year.

Your remote or vehicle is getting jammed by a stronger frequency.

Hackers can hang around crowded parking lots and scrape the owner's

key fob code and spoof it. Once spoofed, they open the door as the

alarms are off. Plug in to the OBDII port, and make a new key fob.

Start the car and.....

Store your key fob in a Faraday shielded fob case. In crowded parking lots,

try to not use the fob to remote lock ( hit twice for that good old "it's locked" feeling)

the doors, lift the hatch etc.

The new breed of car thieves are pretty dang smart!

!300 CC VWs used to do that same sort of thing with about 30K. The head poped

off the stem. Just plain dumb luck or excessive revs.

Why did you replace the plugs to begin with? Did it jerk/stagger before the plugs were replaced?

Try lowering the gap down to .28  It might be you are "blowing out" the spark with a wide gap.

What was the gap on the old plugs?

Spark plugs breaking down under load will cause that problem.How old and what kind gap etc.?

Boosted engines "loves dem plugs".

Under the left passenger seat. If not here is a different way.

We did our yearly service on the Ceramic coating at Sparkle and Shine

McKinney Texas. It looks better than it did when we bought it last year!

Trey does GREAT detail work and I mean DETAIL down to the tiniest nooks!

I even got great marks for NOT leaving marks during this past year!

As crippled as I am, it takes about 30 minutes to wash and dry the "Black Momba".

(Yes I know it is spelled with an A but, it my wife's pride and joy!)

More fun for being cool.

Have you measured the temps of the rotors?

I am not an expert nor have much knowledge of tunes etc.

Remember, we are lugging around 2 1/4 tons of car around!

With a 120 CID engine (2.0 L) X 15 PSI = 240 HP

For each atmosphere (15 PSI or 1 Bar or Atmosphere) an engine doubles

in size and HP! So to get about 450+ HP, one is going to need somewhere

about 30-35 PSI.

The fuel system will need to double to triple it's output. Did I mention boost lag

with such 1 large turbo? That is why staged turbo systems are made on more expensive

vehicles.

Rather than making more power, I would make a "Canyon Carver" by doing the suspension

wheels and tires

How do you know the brakes are dragging?

I have wondered about this little device....
