Recall and starters.
 
Dropped off the car at dealer for factory recall (emissions deal) on Wedesday, told them to check out a sluggish starting issue while there.
Mentioned that the battery was fairly new but engine spun slowly.
Picked her up today and Man!!! what a differance how the engine spins over it is like the plugs are removed.
Aso the car hauls ass now with new plugs and reset PCM. They run a complete reset at the dealer as a matter of course.

If you need or want a upgraded starter, go to the dealer and be very nice when explaining the problem and you will be amazed.:wiggle:

1. Disconnect your negative battery terminal
2. Stomp on your brake for about 30 seconds
3. Wait 5-10 minutes
4. Reconnect your negative battery terminal

HaHa thats funny, I didn't make it clear at first but the tech did say that the PCM is reset, both KAM and NVRAM.
The newest flash and sparkplugs did make a big difference in the high RPM power
The car now has a good power hit at 6500-7000 rpm and pulls to redline like no tomorrow.
Very nice deal.
