........ nice! FREken NO WAY fRANK THATS CRAZY!

 

I should have it on the road next week.

 

So that means you won't be driving it Thursday then.

That's okay... I can't wait to see it when its all done.

 

If I can pull off a miracle I will have it Wednesday.

 

Hey i didn't get to guess what was on the front bumper!! No fair!!! HAHAha. OH yeah Frank that list in insaine!!1 I'm not sure if i even want to sit behind the wheel of that bad boy. I can't wait to see her all finished.

It should feel like Christmas for you getting her all done!

Anyone around tonight?

 

Come on Brian I know you're around here somewhere.

 

The boss is here so I have to kinda pretend to be working, but he has left the area so I'm posting lol

 

Sounds like a typical day at work for me.

So did you get a call yet? If not, I'm going to email the HR woman who is contact person for that position.

 

Well guys i popped my first cel. It was Catalyst System Efficiency below Threshold.

Which means .....

A) One or both of my O2 sensors is bad (hopefully)
B) I have a leaking/ cracked exhaust manifold
C) I need a new Catalytic convertor

If this is true i think its probably a leaking manifold, because i have a little bit of moisture coming from the gasket on the block, and also when i cold start my car, i can smell fumes real strong up near the FRONT of my car.

Im gonna wait a couple days and see if the code comes back. Im glad its still under warranty. And im glad i can reset the codes from my scan gauge. Even if i know its nothing bad, i get a pit in my stomach when i know my baby is sick.

 

Haha, I get that all the time... But I think mines from my spark plugs fowling out... ;-) I'm pushin too much air through and not enough gas... I'm going to buy those new uranieum based spark plugs. THey're supposidly the best out. If you look at one you can see why... That and I need a fuel managment and some 550cc injectors and I'll be set.

 

Nope no call yet, but that seems typical for me lately

 

Hey ladiesman, where do you get those plugs, i though iridium was just about the best, especially at 10 bucks a pop. But i really doubt thats my case. However i have been noticing a slight decrease in torque lately, seems like when i really get on it, it doesn't react like it used to. I only have 70K on my car and have already changed the plugs at 35K which is supposedly way before necessary

 

^^ oh and another thing that worried me a little was that when i noticed th power loss, i immediately checked my MAF, and when i took it out, it had a bead of liquid on it. So i took it inside and let it dry for about 5 hours. and then put it back in. Its still dry now, but i just don't know what to think

 

That sucks Dan.... :-(

 

Advanced Auto is the ONLY place that carries them... :-)

 

It probably is your manifold as far as the code goes. You probably need a new gasket.

Just be wary if you are finding a lot of moisture inside the intake. Ram air setups will do that. Worst case senario is hydrolocking the motor which you obviously did not do. Just a little water will allow the motor to run but it is not good. There was a Xb with a ram air intake that sucked up some water, it ran but he had to replace his motor. Change your oil, if it looks like oil you are cool, if it looks like chocolate milk you are hosed. You might want to remove the ram air portion of your intake for the winter and rainy season.

 

^^ Thanks for the advice, i may just do that

 

Frank are you at work???

 

Also if anyone else is coming to the BBQ please let me know for i can give you an address/directions if i have not done so.

Or if you don't know what the hell i'm talking bout just PM me or read back a few pages.
