Hi - Thanks it is a beautiful automatic.

Hoping to find someone looking for a nice 960 in this color. I have never seen another one. When it's polished up it looks amazing. Car has "bad head gasket" and/or cracked head but otherwise will start and run. I work on cars but have not verified the issue myself so it could be anything....

No question that fresh coil packs did the trick on the odd misfire. However I had a chance to do one hour trip away and back in which I had one instance of going into limp mode under cruise control. I did the one hour trip out without incident. Got up this am to do a 10 mile trip and at about mile 6...

So PEM is the fuel module or something right? I don't think 03 has one. I should have my coils this afternoon. I'm predicting that this will NOT fix it. I certainly hope so but think I'll be looking for something else. Results: 99.9% sure this IS fixed. Trip to work in the am will confirm. There's ...

I hate throwing parts at it without somewhere to go. Good thing. Many people think it's this or that and replace good parts. Not to mention the main dealer. Aside the checks mentioned in the posts above, among the common issues was the FPS sensor as well as the PEM module. The later, on models with...

Just to give you an idea, when I blew off a turbo induction hose a couple months back I got both a ECM-1300 MAF sensor intermittent fault and an ECM0981 Control Module Internal Fault. All from a loose hose clamp. IF the car is running like hell, the fault codes become useless at some point. I even ...

Do you get pending codes set? How old are the ignition coils? They run do long on these cars we forget about them. The mantra to run a trouble free car is to replace them at 100k. Misfires often don't set codes but will flash the CEL or message Get a cheap code reader, or borrow one, and next time ...

Ooh thanks that is interesting. I figured maybe an 02 sensor being slow or like that. But poor electrical contacts are definitely possible.

Most times this thing runs great. Fine when stone cold. After fully warm on the gauge it will begin sputtering at idle. Typically a little revving in neutral will clear it up enough to run normally. Sometimes it's bad enough the CEL flashes a few times then goes back to ON. No regular codes are set....
