I had 3/4 tank at the time. They both acted up simotaneously. It hasn't done it since then. Any advise? Chris Matthews 98 SVT 98 SVT Contour Stock 130,000 miles w/ minor problems

You may have hit a bump just the right way to cause something to jiggle loose for a split second. Beer is my Gatorade. Hooray Beer. '98 "Sport" Pacific Green '98 E0 SVT Silver Frost Pictures
