    No start problem / caused by traction control ?

    Wayne, I took a look at the sensor and it doesn't look like much can go bad since it's inside the housing. When I get a chance I'll clean it and dielectric grease it. Thanks for the idea!

    No start problem / caused by traction control ?

    Crank sensor? I didn't think of that one, do they act up intermittently? I don't think it's battery. It's about 2 years old which does not mean alot sometimes I know. When my last battery was going bad my first sign was the car lost driver settings each time it was started. If it gets bad...

    No start problem / caused by traction control ?

    My 1999 had a rattle under the drivers seat only when hitting bunps in the road. Turned out to be the exhaust hitting the body. Just a little tweak on the hanger and fixed.

    Replacement brake rotors

    aftermarket cd changer or ipod adapter

    Mel; I just recently bought the car from my friend (the original owner). He said when he bought the car new, the dealer offered to install the CD player in the console. They said they would have to temporally take out the console. He said no because he didn't like the idea of having that messed...

    aftermarket cd changer or ipod adapter

    I have a 99 conti the no cd player. It has an OEM alpine system. I'm wondering were the plug is so I can install either a aftermarket changer or ipod adapter and still have use of steering wheel controls. I looked under the console and saw no leads. Are they directly off the radio? Any ideas?
