A Few Quick Questions

[jgrimm]

Alright, I have a few problems and questions I would like to revolve...

#1. It has been fairly hot here for the first time in 6 months and it looks like the ti is acting funny. When I accelerate and rev high, my tachometer gets stuck at 3500 rpm. It will stay in this position until my engine revs about 1000rpms above or below the stuck position. Do I need to replace something in my gauge cluster or should I just remove it and check to see if there is anything stuck/loose in there?

#2. My used DASC will be comming in less then 2 weeks and I have read that I should use cooler spark plugs. It is recommended to use NGK #7's but I am having trouble finding that temperature plug. Are there Bosch or other spark plugs that would work well with a DASC that are easier to come by?

#3. Also concerning the DASC, I have yet to install any type of exhaust on my ti and I was wondering which type would best compliment the DASC. I was thinking about a Remus because they come with "valves" to customize the pitch of the exhaust. Anybody with a DASC have a good/cheaper alternative that minimizes back pressure and sounds good?
ANY AUDIO OR VIDEO CLIPS of a DASC'ed ti with aftermarket exhaust would be extremely helpful.
( I know Dusten had some clips of his car but I can't get them to play)

#4. My ABS light is lit up and apparently I will be needing at least 2 new sensors. They are like 185$ a piece (@ cost) and I really don't know if I can afford to get them rite now. Is it neccesary to get them replaced asap or can I wait a while? I never remember the ABS actually helping me stop faster winter so I don't see the need for it. The only nuisance they cause me is that the ABS will engage when the sensors get wet. The ABS has engaged when I have lightly tapped the brakes, and it sometimes fires when my foot is completely off the brakes (f-ing annoying). What do you guys recommend I do?

Anybody?

I don't think the ti remus exhaust has that tuneable sound wafer screw thing-a-ma-jigger

talk to the governor on the fourms he was having some simllar problem you to should be able to sort them out

and if you really need the plugs i could buy them for you and send them to you if they dont sell it in canada

[jgrimm]

Are there any Bosch plugs that will work?

[Bobbak]

ngk was was the best plug for the m44 motor i dunno about bosch

[jgrimm]

I'm pretty sure Bosch come from the factory for our cars. Well, at least thats what they installed for me the last time I got em replaced.

My tach gauge does that too when it's really hot outside. It hasn't annoyed me enough yet to figure out what's going on.

[jgrimm]

ABS??? Spark Plugs???? (ASAP....the DASC came today)

My ABS light has been on since I bought the car last year. I actually dodged a deer while skidding into a stop and I was able to change directions too. The ground was wet though so I don't know if that helped the car change directions, but the steering did not lock up on me. I didn't hear the ABS pumping sound so I know they weren't doing anything.

As to what you should do, I'm not qualified to even make a suggestion and that's just my experience so far with the ABS being broken.

[jgrimm]

Yeah, I don't think I will do anything about my ABS but I really gotta find some spark plugs. Are the stock spark plugs unusable or can I keep them in until I find the lower temp. ones?

[<( '.' )>]

Lower temp spark plugs are not necessary.
