  1. Appears to be the gas cap was not tightened. Tightened it, reset the computer by disconnecting the battery. so far the lights have not come back and car seems to be fine. John
  2. I have an OBD Reader and it didn't have any codes stored. No way to get it in anywhere. Our 1 car garage is full of stuff, since we have no basement. I'll try the battery cable tomorrow. Supposed to be 2 degrees tonight. See what tomorrow holds. John
  3. We would just take it to the dealership but we've had a big storm and everything is shut down. Tomorrow is Christmas eve and we don't know if they'll be open. Trying to find out if it's safe to drive.
  4. Have a big snowstorm here. A lot of spining trying to get out where the snow's piled in the medians. Check Engine Light, ABS Light on, Cruise Flashing. R 55 where trip meter is. Car seems to run ok although rough idle a little. Checked with my code reader and nothing. Drivetrain covered in ice. Any ideas? Is it safe to drive? John
  5. I used it last year. I really like the AIO Polish. The SG Sealant works better if you leave it on over night and buff off the next day. I don't have a grage so I used the wipe on, wipe off method. Did ok. Lasted at least 4 months, but didn't make may car truck pop, like a good carnuba such as #16, #26, or P21S. I still use the AIO as a base Polish before wax on occassion if the swirls are not too bad. If they are I step up to the #83 first, then top with #16. I order from properautocare all the time. Great company with outstanding customer service. John
  6. Please do some research on www.autopia.org You owe it to your vehicle!! Dawn???? You are joking right? Your $30 Zymol is made by Turlewax btw. You can't go wrong with the Meg's Professional Line, 3M Bodyshop line, Klasse, P21S, Zaino, and many others. Read the review section. I'm not putting anything from WalMart or Autozone on our new 05 OBW. It's Meg's Professional and Bodyshop line all the way. #7 Show Care Glaze, topped with #16 Professional Paste Wax gives it a great shine and beads for months. All of this by hand. It is a new finish I use the #83 Dual Action Cleaner Polish on my 97 F150, as it is abrassive enough to remove cobweb's and swirls without damaging the paint, then topped with the #16. I use a Porter Cable 7424 DA Random Orbital Polisher to apply the #83 and hand apply and buff the #16. John
  7. I'm going to use it in the wife's new 05 OBW as soon as I hit 3k. Stocking up as I find it. Traveling again this week, so hopefully I can get some more. John
  8. Mobil1 has a new 5W40 Synthetic Truck & SUV Oil. It is repackaged Delvac1. I have found it at Advanced Auto Parts when I've been traveling for work. But none locally yet. Just hit the shelves in March. Some guys on Bob's site are reporting it at WalMarts already. John
  9. If you have a urethane bumper or spoiler that you can push on, it keeps the paint from cracking. I'd say it's mainly for bumpers, spoilers, ground effects, etc......... I had one on my BMW and the added it to the paint. You could squeeze it all day long and nothing happened to the paint. John
  10. I bought a reader for about $129. It pays for itself in 2 uses (if you had to take it to a shop). Also Autozone reads them for free...............
  11. We just got some from paintscratch.com. It matches perfectly. Touched up the rocker panel's on my wifes 96OBW we're getting ready to put on the market. They have the type with the flex additive as well. You need your paint code from the doorjamb to place the order. John
  12. Does anyone know where I can find replacement knobs for my stereo? The balance/fade and bass/treble knobs have cracked and I would like to replace.
  13. Thanks............ Just wanted to know if we were in the ballpark. John
  14. Anyone have any thoughts? Too high, too Low? Would like to get it in the paper this weekend. Thanks for any help. John
