Default Two Questions

1) My car is dead again. It idles fine but will act funky when I give it gas. It doesn't do anything except for a little slight RPM bump after I let off. I think it is probably something with the throttle body or the ground that has been giving me so much hell (to the hood mount thingy, sorry i don't know the proper term).

2) I got my hands on a 850R rear sway. My T-5 came with the "sport suspension." Will this be an upgrade? And whether it is or isn't would anybody be interested in which ever sway I don't use?

You might have a bad Mass Flow sensor. Sounds like when the Car is in Limp home mode when it is disconnected.

Any codes?




Measure the new Sway Bar and yours and see if they are different.

Well, I started it up again and it is running fine, but it threw no codes.

And I could measure the sway bar but I am too lazy. :P

I just found the answer to all of my electronic problems. The battery tie down is missing so the batter is moving around and parts are touching metal and grounds.

The 850R rear sway bar I was talking about is on sale in the FS section for those reading that may be interested.
