Commie, were you involved with Ed Bolian's 4000? I'm sure I just saw your garage in his latest video.

Yup thats my place. His car sat for 10 years and has some wiring issues with his CIS.
Yeah, I got the impression from the videos on it that it was a prime candidate for random-issue-of-the-week thanks to lack of use.

Deviant. Is that the V6 2.5, or the inline 5?

Based on the video in the snow, Haldex shouldn't be doing that. I don't know how much slip they have in the system at whatever the nominally full lockup front to rear is, but I'm going to say "not that much".

I agree it probably won't do anything if you have all four wheels in the air (so no speed/torque discrepancy), but lighting up the fronts like that should almost certainly make it engage the drive to the rear.

Edit: Just seen your post, CommieGIR - careful, that looks like genIV info, and his car will be genV without the precharging, unless I'm mistaken. I don't know if that affects how you can diagnose it jacked up.
