stop, then bump

The two times it's happened, it's been after 15-30 seconds of sitting still.

"Bump" at stoplights feels like changing gears

1997 850T5 auto.

Every once in a while, when I am sitting at a stoplight for a while (trans in D, brake pedal pressed), I feel a 'bump' that I can only describe as feeling like changing gears. It's only happened twice, but that's twice in two weeks. Had the car more than two years, one year on this ...

Behind the driver's seat track...

Power seats, there's a color keyed plastic cover at the back. It's about 3x3 inches.

Things left in car by P.O.

I finally tracked down the rattle that had been plaguing my 850 for two years. Seems the previous owner dropped his one-hitter in the little empty space behind the driver's seat track.

Making my living as a pilot, the idea of having driven around with paraphernalia in my car for two years kind of ...

thanks

New cap, new coolant. She's running smooth (even after half an hour city driving in 100+ heat). Thanks for the reply.

Wet serpentine belt = All dash indicators?

I had my coolant res. cap explode on me today. No big deal, I'll put a new one on.

But the scary part: I'm sitting at a stop light and all my warning lights come on at once for about 2 seconds, then go off. Then a few seconds later, I'm driving down the road and hear a loud whoosh and the coolant ...

ABS light on, but speedo and CC work

My '97 850T5 (no TRACs) ABS light has been coming on intermittently, but my CC and speedometer still work. I don't mind paying Victor $140 for a nice ABS rebuild, but want to know that's for sure the problem first. It's not throwing any diagnostic codes. I've heard that a failing ABS unit will also ...

sort of...

close, but mine doesn't make noise. It just doesn't work. The door opens quietly, but does not stay open. Thanks for the link, it will be really helpful if I do need to remove the stay itself.
