After you know the stickys VERY well, then post a question, if it has not been posted before. Always search before posting.

2000-2003 should be interchangeable as far as trunk/spoiler goes.
Does anyone know about any of the 6th gen spoilers http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41lblEOpPiL._AA280_.jpg
fitting a 5.5th gen (2002)?
Has anyone done it?? I'm not too sure what it'd look like but thought I'd inquire

So I am just curious in the difference between the auto climate control and the regular (manual) one? I have the manual one. Why do some models have them and some don't? Is there any swapping possible that is direct replacement? I like the look and use of the auto better, and it's just something that I'm interested about; couldn't find anything from searching. Thanks in advance.

From what i gathered on the org, the auto climate control was an option and is not easily swappable into your car if you have manual. Way too much re-wiring and some type of sensor issue i believe?

ECU Reset
I have some check engine codes being thrown and I want to reset them to see if they pop back up. I can swing by Autozone and have them clear the codes or I can just take the negative off of the battery overnight. Do you see any benefits one way or the other? My goal is to see if the codes come back by the weekend. Thanks, this forum is a great resource.

It wont throw the code w/light right away when you start the car. It takes 2 trips.
Go to Autozone, have them reset it. What year is your car? If it is an 02 / 03, there is a procedure that allows you to reset it yourself. It can be found in the stickys.

Thanks for the info. I saw the stickies and figured the easiest way for me to reset is to unhook the battery. 2001 20th Anniversary Edition AT with 130k miles. I am getting a P0420 (not too worried about) and a P0505 (worried about). The P0505 is saying the IACV is bad. I am hoping the P0420 was either thrown by bad gas or by the IACV failing.
I am receiving this car from a friend and I am hoping to fix it for miminal costs/time.
