    when turning the car on I occassionally get the following:

    Low fuel, no tach, no gas gauge, no trip mileage or odo, ABS light, and traction control off lights. I also have what seems like a slip in the trans from 1st to 2nd shift, but not consistent. I think something is goofy in the computer.

    Also had the power reset- to the point my radio presets went back to default, not my programmed values.

    '02 GT, 170K miles, no mods except for my radio replacement with the factory wiring adapter.

    TIA!

    Or it could be a bad connection on the connector leading to the tps sensor sometimes the wire inside the insulation breaks
    and it becomes intermittent when you turn a corner because you are pulling the wires inside apart.

    Wiggle the wires plugged into your pcm. Wish I was kidding.
    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+.
