    Well, yeah, I meant to scan it with a TechII. Without knowing specific years, better be safe than confused.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    I was thinking the same exact thing reading through this thread. First thought that popped in my head was why hasn't anyone mentioned the EBCM being a possibility? Everyone's jumping on the hubs without knowing for sure? Even if it costs a few bucks to get it scanned, it beats the hell out of blowing $400 on hubs (at all 4 corners), and having that not end up being the problem.

    BTW, none of those lights would make it an issue to drive the car. You don't need ABS or TCS for the car to operate, and as Bill mentioned, it takes a LOT for a hub to reach the state where it falls off.

    Hubs/sensors are usually what go first.

    Jack the car up and shake the wheels to see if they are "loose", top and bottom and side to side being loose would indicate a bad bearing. If its just the sensor then this won't help.

    The EBCM actually gets toasted by voltage fluctuations IIRC. It can happen at any time. 30,000 miles, 150,000 miles, never know. GP I did the EBCM rebuild on was somewhere around 105,000 miles with factory hubs still functioning.
