Power goes where it is supposed to. Speedo erratic. Am considering replacing speedo. Have access to a parts car. Have not run current...

Re: 850 no spark no fuel

Car runs better with a warm up in temp. My guy was going to do some diagnostic checking for me... 1 hour limit. Replaced rpm sensor. Seemed better, than crapped out after 20 miles. Car starts, runs for anywhere from 20 to 120 seconds and then just dies. He is leaning towards fuel pump relay. Makes s...

Re: 850 no spark no fuel

Rubber question... 96 850 200K +

Got a great deal on some Hakka snows (just got 1 1/2 ft snow here in VT).
They are 185/65.
Any one think of any issues using the slightly lower (than stock 195) profile tires?
Daily driver. 15- 20 miles/day. Very little highway speeds.
Thanks,
Henry
