Re: 2002 EV MV Wont Start
I don't think it would be the immobilizer, because when the immobilizer did not recognize my key it would still allow me to crank the engine but the engine will immediately shut back off. Miles

Re: EVC Auxiliary/Coach/Deep Cycle Battery Specs?
The original coach battery in my 02 EVC was a Trojan 30XHS-130 amp hr. I replaced it on 7-19-07 with a Trojan SCS225 Marine which is the same as the 30XHS but with double posts. The cost was about

Re: amsoil ATF??
Adam, We purchased our 97 EVC with 35K on it and the trans. fluid was shot. There was also some ATF polluting the final drive gear oil. So, before our first big trip we had it all changed, including a

95 EVC Towing Ability
We take extended (months) trips with our 95 EVC 5-spd, and find it an excellent touring vehicle. But it is not so good as a runabout from the campsite. Too big and too much fuel, and the inconvenience

Re: headlight chime
We have a 95 EVC also, and I feel safer with driving lights as well. How about this approach? Is there a (good) kit to light the headlights when the engine is running? Doug Kottum, Battle Lake, MN 34

Re: Road trip and mechanics litany of issues
Louis is a good guy. To me the sticking caliper is the main issue. When the piston doesn't retract a bit after application, the pad rubs on the rotor, and that pad wears out fast! When it gets down to

Re: 2002 engine removal: Need some help and thoughts
Matt, Won't the torque curve for that engine be less than optimal for the EV? That is, less low end torque? A six speed might be a good idea. With that kind of driving he's likely got only a year or
