Hello all,
I bought this car about 3 years ago. I moved from Austin, to Fort Worth (180 miles due north)May '04. The winters are colder here on avg 5-10 degrees, daily. I know it's nothing compared to some other places.
However, this year I obtained a job at DFW airport only 27 miles away. I am just as ticked off about gas prices, as the rest of you. But since temps have dropped lately, I can't get accurate gas milage readings.
I work 4 days a week, overnight, and rarely use my vehicle the other days. So on my way home in the morning, I allow my brick to warm up no more than 10 minutes.
I begin driving, and notice my only my odometer is not working. All other gauges work fine. After whatever temperature the car decides to reach (warmed-up), the odometer begins working, and works until it sits in the cold for more than 4 hours or so.
After getting home, sleeping, and up again. I run errands, and other things. Odometer doesn't seems to fail.
What can I get to to warm up faster to get the odometer to get to operating temps, in the morning.
I have lost about 300-500 miles so far. Last year, when gas prices began rising, and I drove 44 miles to work, in the colder temps, it did not do this. Please Help!
Thanks
Kevin
