[QUOTE="Ken Crockett, post: 806063, member: 60047"] When I started my '04 ST this morning to go to work, I noticed that it automatically reset the tripmeter to 0.0 (no, I didn't accidently bump it. I have it synched with the odomoter). I've also had other issues when starting the ST lately. No problems getting it started, but sometimes the speedometer and tachometer will bounce against the 0 peg for several seconds. Stepping on the throttle for a couple seconds usually gets it to start acting normal. It doesn't feel like its starving for gas or going to stall, just gremlins for a few seconds. The battery is OE (49+ months). That's a pretty good lifetime for this AZ heat, but as I haven't had any problems getting the engine to turn over, I'm not sure the battery is dying. Any thoughts? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
