Man your car needs gas, what are you planning on ricing with? Hopes and dreams?

Braineack 07-21-2012 04:06 PM

Reverant 07-21-2012 04:09 PM

No, its half empty.

Braineack 07-21-2012 04:13 PM

triple88a 07-21-2012 08:53 PM

Saml01 07-21-2012 10:40 PM

Yeah, from unplugging a few fuses. It was for my EGR and Idle valve, because the fuse to run them was still out. It's been reset with my odbII scanner and all seems well.

yeah, well I've never done that before. I tried it before I swapped and it didn't work, sparked like hell (battery + to the starter switch terminal) and didn't turn the motor.

I dunno if it's just because I have a new starter, but the thing sounds odd during cranking. But as long as it continues to start...whatever.

Saml01 07-22-2012 02:29 PM

Maybe the starter is newer/stronger so you get higher cranking RPM?

Braineack 07-22-2012 02:43 PM

yeah my exhaust rattles a bit when cranking it seems. i also had one of the bolts not quite to torque so it might have been play on the gears. all is well now though.


so:

Brain - wins.

Rev, y8s, 18psi, gospeed, curly, Joe, pusha, my mother, everybody's brother - loses.
