Replying to: rick294 (Sep 22, 2008 11:13 am) I have taken it to the dealer already, and one of them said it didn't have the particular feature. I was hoping someone out there might know a way around it. There was one guy at the dealer that say they could set it, I'll have to try him next when I go in for my 5k service.   I had look through the manuel and I didn't see page 489 regarding the door lock at speeds.   Thanks for all the help ppl!

Replying to: angel723 (Sep 10, 2008 9:02 am) I saw a fix for that on one of the Prius parts websites. It looked like a simple plug-in and cost under $90. According to the blurb it locks the doors at 15 MPH. Not too bad of an expense if you have small children.

#349 of 353 Pulse Plugs by maxwell_ Apr 19, 2009 (8:04 pm)
I saw an ad for pulse plugs (made by Pulstar) and was wondering if anyone had any experience with these things. They're suppose to improve fuel efficiency, but they're pretty expensive.   The only discussion I've seen on the internet about them was on muscle car enthusiast forums. They were more concerned about hp gains, hardly mentioned gpm at all.

Replying to: maxwell_ (Apr 19, 2009 8:04 pm) I think it was Phineas. T. Barnum who said, "a sucker is born every minute". Which goes hand-in-hand with the old proverb, " a fool and his money are soon parted". Spark plugs are most probably the least important component in the ignition system. That is, you could use almost ANY brand of spark plug and get almost the same result. Some plugs are different in that they offer resistance to radio interference, or platinum tips for long life. But a basic spark plug in the correct heat range will work just as well as a "super duper" spark plug costing X times MORE than a basic OEM plug. SAVE YOUR MONEY!

Replying to: maxwell_ (Apr 19, 2009 8:04 pm) 6 days and only one snarky remark.   I think I'm taking this question somewhere else. Replies to this message: dmathews3 (Apr 25, 2009 2:23 pm) whitey9 (Apr 25, 2009 2:35 pm)

Replying to: maxwell_ (Apr 25, 2009 2:14 pm) Yea they are great plugs and I think you should buy them. You will get at least another 5 mpg by using them. There are you happy that you heard what you want.

Replying to: maxwell_ (Apr 25, 2009 2:14 pm) Hey Max, if you WANT to buy 'em, then BUY THEM! Just don't expect them to take out the garbage, and fold your clothes. They are JUST spark plugs! If you are trying to get better mileage then make SURE the tires are properly inflated ( NOT 55psi ), and you by-pass drive thu windows. Also, wear your tiny right foot for the accelerator. I am not one who thinks everything can be "cured" by taking a "pill". Life is more challenging. Sorry for the "snarkyness". As Jack Webb used to say, "just the facts ma'am".
