Hey Steve I think my e-brake is going/gone. Normally when I pull it, it's fairly stiff and it only goes like 3/4 ish of the way up. I went to pull it after I got home for work in the cold yesterday and I heard a wierd snapping like or clicking noise. Now when I pull it, it's super loose and it goes ALL the way up. It still holds ( I think, I only tried on flat ground not on a hill yet), but I'm thinking it's on it's last legs. Should I take it in for warranty now or wait?

Ah you may be right matt. Come to think of it it did feel like something "popped" when I pulled up on it. I'll go get her fixed. Thanks boys.

so i was trying to figure out the misfires on my car tonight, cylinder two, it only misfires below 1100 RPM, i tried regapping the spark plug a few times and it made the misfire worse then got it back to what it was. Any ideas ( Watching it with my interceptor it has about 6-8 misfires before it resets on cylinder two) when you drive though it runs fine. I probably play around with gapping on the spark plug some more this weekend as im almost sure thats what it has to be, ( Never had any issues before i installed the new injectors/kit and one one step colder NGK plugs)

when i put my my CAI back on i now get a misfire on idle and only on idle its weird and from time to time i think twice this winter when its really cold out and i start it to let it warm up i'll get a random misfire code. eventually i'll try regapping my plugs but i'm not sure which way to regap them.
