CEL in the hybrid yesterday. I still get that hesitation/shudder at highway speed, so I’m still leaning toward a misfire or fuel injector issue. I just feel like it would be so much worse if there was a bad injector. I got it home, checked for leaks underneath and up front (these are notorious for debris gashing holes in the rads) and found nothing. Played with the gas cap a minute and ignored it.

Today the light is gone. So perhaps it was the gas cap after all. I miss having instrumentation that actually told you something. Hell, the 1990 cadillac i drove 20 years ago had diagnostics readouts on the dash!

Well i would figure as much.

My 01 Tahoe has 3 ports in the front....like why do you need 3? I get the lighter but after that? What are you making coffee n eggs? And i do have an ashtray. Comes in handy on the rainy days

Oh you mean the USB plugs? Yeah I have one but don't think I've ever used it.

I charge straight from the socket to my phone. So technically I do use two of the ports...and I do have that usb thing plugged into the third

My maybe favorite car ever (Lexus LFA) doesn't have any cupholders.

Not that it matters in that case anyways.

 

[TD Charlie]

6 Cupholders:

Two in the console, one in each back door, one beside each seat in the third row.

The four doors have cubbies that i think were designed for bottles, but they are so narrow some 16 oz bottles don’t fit.

I have made use of all cupholders quite a few times. The kids use them for everything under the sun

We're coming up to April and just got another dumping of snow. I'm so eager to get outside and detail the truck. The salt on the carpet and mats is bugging me as well as the cig smoke on the windows. Praying we get spring soon
