I need a few answers

Alright, a few questions

Is there a way to check the differential fluid without draiing it?

Will a empty diff cause tranny problems?

Will a bad speedo sensor create shifting problems?

My power mode light comes on at a stop but not while moving? WTF?

Does thins spoiler make my ass look big?

Smells like sulfur or fireworks or something? Kinda a stinky smell

Smoke from somewhere when in reverse or going up steep hills and flooring it?

yes, the dipstick in front, the fill hole in rear.

Will a empty diff cause tranny problems?

yes, heat for one, especially since the ATF pump adjoins.

Will a bad speedo sensor create shifting problems?

Yes, and for an AWD it's worse.

Use the dipstick for the front diff (passenger side of engine compartment), and the fill hole for the rear diff (the fluid should be just below the bottom of the fill hole).

Will a empty diff cause tranny problems?

Yup.

Will a bad speedo sensor create shifting problems?

Definitely. I believe this is something the TCU takes into consideration when choosing whether to downshift or not (among other things).

I would say that you have some type of problem with your TPS or one of the terminals at the ECU. Check connector B60, terminals 1, 2, and 3.

Oh, honey! Don't say things like that. That spoiler accentuates the curves of your body.

Not sure I can help you there. Maybe a blown out cat in the exhaust line somewhere?

I'm almost afraid to answer that one. Let's see what someone else has to say.
