Will New Battery = More power?
I have a battery that I know is going bad. All the research I have done on the forum tells me I need a new battery. The main symptom is the car constantly pegs all the instruments in the gauge cluster and resets my odometer on startup ALMOST every time. I have also noticed a loss in acceleration lately. I know that could be a multitude of things that could cause that, but could a new battery essentially restore any lost hp? I just want to know in case I get the placebo effect of swapping a new battery in, is it possible? Would it be noticeable? Thanks!

Actually your instrument cluster panel could be going out since your gauges are going crazy. I've heard it's common on 1999 models.
