    3.0 sounds strained?

    Mileage and clock display gone blank!?

    Not tried anything yet :sadlike: Will disconnect and reconnect the battery tomorrow to see if it cures the prob, thanks. Reset button is on wiper stalk, I think that only resets the fuel/mpg/speed computer? Shortly before both displays went blank there were some really weird random digits...
