Hello All, My profound and profuse apologies for not updating this thread, but I flat our forgot about it until yesterday. I'm blaming old age. :D The good news is the issue is resolved and it was the APPS (Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor). It's been exactly 3 months and no return of the...

Again, thanks for everyone's comments. Very helpful. I'll update the thread once I figure this out. Eddie

I think we're getting somewhere folks. Just went into LM on the way home from my Mom's ALF. Same as last time, which is crazy. Anyhoo, it threw a code and here it is. I'm so durn excited to know what I'm dealing with now. Updates ASAP. Eddie

Since the neg. batt. term. pull, no codes displayed with my AD310 scanner. I have the AD310 with me now so the next time it happens and the dash lights up like this, I can display the code. Thanks, Eddie

Whew and that's good news given I'm older than dirt. :) I did figure a DC was related to OBD II. Eddie

Something is up with the forum as I can't add this image to my post from a couple mins ago. Eddie

Zero doubt on the LM. Also, no codes present when I checked this afternoon. I do have my OBD II reader so when it throws another code, I'll be able to capture it. Here's another tidbit related to this problem: Took my T4R in for an emission test today and learned of a "drive cycle." In 50+...

Thanks for your comments and suggestions everyone. I have not pulled the code(s) yet, but plan to do so tomorrow. I know, I know....that is what I should have done first. Thread update soon. Thanks again all, Eddie

It can't hurt so I'll try it. I cleaned the MAF sensor too. I thought that might contribute to high rev, but alas it did nothing. Only the neg. battery term disconnect resolved both problems. Thanks, Eddie

Hello All, Leaving a parking lot a few days ago and my T4R ('01 with 200k miles) surged ever so slightly and then would hardly move. I was dumbfounded, but then again I set the bar low. :D Anyhoo, I was 1/2 mile from the house so "limped" home at maybe 1MPH. Thankfully I was on surface...

Good point 5thToy. I maintain 32 lbs. in the tires (checked ~monthly). The beads on these must be great as I seldom have to add more than a pound or so even if I miss my monthly check. The tires are rotated every 6k miles. Eddie

Hello All, I've been meaning to post this simply for search posterity, as well as to welcome any related comments. Firstly, I love these tires (265/70R16). They have taken over some gnarly terrain, and gotten me back (most importantly), over the past almost three years and 16k miles. They...

Here's a pic of a regular cloth seat. Eddie

Of course I do. Just look at the seat pix I posted. Only Stevie Wonder would have a problem not seeing the difference between the Sport and non-Sport seats. :D Eddie
