Those were the original parts that came with the car. Replaced it with OEM equipment from the Ford stealership and was starting to give me problems again. There is a metal plate with tangs that holds the throwout bearing to the clutch slave cylinder. You can hear the tang pop and feel it in...

Nevermind, saw your post that you tried two of them with no success. Try reformatting one of them (the 4 GB) and see if it works. If it still fails after formatting, then you will need to call the dealer.

It isn't just Ford, it's everyone trying to pinch a penny here and there.

Have these on my girl's 2010. She loves them so far. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Yokohama&tireModel=AVID+Ascend+%28H-+or+V-Speed+Rated%29&partnum=055HR6ASC&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes&autoMake=Toyota&autoYear=2010&autoModel=Corolla&autoModClar=S

The 'ring. One of the most challenging and deadly tracks in the world. So many off-camber turns, and the track is so large that it can be sunny on one side of the track and pouring rain on another part of the track.

Sadly, that is the exception rather than the rule, but that guy would definitely have a repeat customer.

This again was with a direct link to the car. They also reverse-engineered the PCM's software in order to do this. This requires a thorough knowledge of computer programming concepts and computer language, as well as de-compiling software that requires a full logical trace run in order to be...

The hacks they talk about (slamming the brakes and jerking the steering wheel) were local network hacks (meaning via a laptop connected to the OBD-II port, and those were vehicles equipped with lane assist and crash-detection automatic braking systems). I'm sure they got into the system with...

He said he added throttle but the car maintained speed, so if that was the case, the car would have accelerated and not shift into the next gear.

Hacking the TPMS circuit would only affect the tire pressure monitoring system. The rest of the circuits are separate. Car PCM's are real-time systems, the circuits must be kept separate and bandwidth as high as possible to keep the polling rate that is required for these engines to run...

When you let off the throttle, it resets ;-) Also, I believe Toyota implemented a system that if the gas and brake are pressed at the same time, the engine shuts down, but don't quote me on that.

Not possible, unless they cut into your wiring harness and added a wireless system that would allow them to trick the PCM ... but for all of that effort, if anything, would be to target the car of a bank owner or something like that (and is more likely the plot of a really bad movie). The PCM...

If you have a moonroof, you can tap there as well.

Basically, if the drive-by-wire system loses track of the throttle pedal position because of a dead spot in the potentiometer, or sees a reading that doesn't make sense, it will hold throttle position as a fail-safe. Getting off the gas and getting back on it resets it. If it happens again...

It has nothing to do with your CVT. It's a drive-by-wire issue. CVT belt slipping would be the same as a clutch slipping on a car (and would probably make a pretty horrid noise, but theoretically it shouldn't ever slip since the ratios are controlled by solenoid, and the belt will always have...

Thanks for posting the fix here!

If the belt was slipping the engine would rev higher while the car maintained speed. Sounds like the drive-by-wire system had a small hiccup.

Willow Springs International Raceway and Laguna Seca would be a blast to race on ... but another thing to keep in mind is ... would I really want to S.C.C.A. my daily driver? If something happens (and it is racing, it's a given that sooner or later something will happen), I would rather not...

Both Mustangs I have had were good to me, and both of them went over a decade on the differential (this is with 300+ ft-lb of torque abusing it). The Ford 8.8" is one of the most solid differentials around, and the Ford 9" is even used by GM guys for their drag cars. Granted, after my Focus, I...
