        sounds like a ground issue but check the alternator output when all loads are on.you could have a bad regulator and the computers flickering the lights to keep some voltage.

                instead of part replacing lets diagnose. I think fuel delivery would be a hesitation/power loss.lets get the pressure under idle and while driving. Who knows the fuel pump could be weak.

                        go to YouTube general motors showed it. are supposed to crumple to save the driver and passenger in the vehicle. Computers are an amazing thing if we all drove v8 carb cars with vented fuel systems are emission would be out of this world. engines of today last longer and are little to no maitmance, unlike carburetors that need some attention every 3k.because you cant understand it doesn’t mean they’re bad. I have a 03 which is really an 02 ford Windstar with 87k nothing has ever failed mechanically just tie rod ends tires brakes and oil, coolant. I get this kind of talk all of the time by older mechanics and people in general. Cars back in the 60’s.70’s,80’s rotted out quicker than new cars do and you guys had better and more metal on cars. I will agree some designs are crap and you will see engines die an early death, lack of maitmance is a big thing and even cars back in the 60’s had main bearings let go then the rod went out of the block or oil pan. Anything manufactured will fail I don’t care the time period.

                            the edges have the 3.5 in them and its not always the engineer. it’s marketing financing and remember a lot of computers that design cars nowadays. Cars are a heck of a lot safer too get hit in a 59 impala vs an 09 you’ll see the difference. Cars actually last longer I see it as stuff happens and the person should not have driven with the overheat in my eye.

                                ive used it on valve covers. I use it on overflow tanks to get rid of grime and dirt. I also use it after an oil change by the filter and if I spill some oil. When it comes to fuse covers and battery’s I use a damp rag with a little degreaser.
