Maybe I'll need to do the test myself to get the answer.
 
Anyone have a nice inductive ammeter I can borrow?

4 FOULED PLUGS by bullwinkle fan

My dealer tells me the ruff idle and miss is do to trailing coil and plugs gone bad " under warranty" BUT leading plugs are bad and not covered because there are fouled. Could the bad trailing coil and plugs have caused the leading plugs to go bad ? They want $320.00 for parts and labor for replacing leading plugs even tho they are right there replacing trailing plugs and coil !!! I mentioned this idle and miss to them 4 mo's ago and all they said was that its all controled by the computer.

I bought it in Feb. 2004 with a automatic and have 36700 miles. The dealer dropped the charges for the two plugs and labor from $320. to $213. because I pitched a fit and reminded them that I complained about the ruff idle and miss 6 months ago when I had the 30K service done.

So were you not due to change the plugs in 800 miles anyway?

RE: vibration when in gear and at a stop
 
-Do you have an auto or stick? There is a TSB for that with the auto, the stick has one too but if I remember correctly symptoms are different and the car is moving.

squeaky breaks by mklis

hey guys
 
I live in MN and have been experiencing obnoxiously squeaky breaks for the past 9 months. I understand that breaks tend to be noisy up here when the weather gets so cold, but this is a squeak that doesn't seem to go away even after driving awhile and hard breaking. I have been assured that the break pads do not need to be replaced.
 
I've really been having issues with one of the Twin Cities dealerships with my breaks, and many other things (but I'll leave that for another day). first, towards the end of the summer, they told me that it was just moisture causing the squeaking due to the high humidity; in the winter they tell me it's the cold dry air that is the cause - they seem to be contradicting views, both of which don't make any sense to me (but I'm not an auto machanic).
 
any recommendations or thoughts?
 
also, if anyone here is in the Minneapolis area, please let me know if you've had good or bad experiences with any of the dealerships around here - after dealing with mine for over 2 years now, I'm getting fed up with it. I've really enjoyed this car but since it has been out of warranty there always seems to be something minor wrong with it.
 
Thanks
