CEL/Cruise Control/RED Failure Light ON Dash/AMP GAUGE LOW

No Codes stored! couldn't for the life of me, figure out what was "wrong". turns out, nothing.

Trickle charged overnight. Hard reset of battery. recalibrated e gas and windows. Voila!

all ( non ) issues resolved. Moral of the story is: low batteries cause all manner of high strangeness to occur

Which reminds me. Ive been away for 10 days (car has been sitting in garage) I had meant to put the trickle charger on tonight. Heading out there now to plug it in.

I'm planning to do a boost leak test tomorrow. The car has stalled on me a couple times when starting after sitting for a little while when fully hot. Turning off the AC seems to keep it from happening. I'm starting with the most basic stuff first. Won't hurt to have a nicely charged battery. Car is running great otherwise. Hoping for an easy fix.

thats just the thing. having a nicely charged battery on these is guesswork! +1 on just leaving it on the trickler whenever away from it for long.

If it's a healthy battery, 10 days is nothing in this warm weather. Winter on the other hand......
