Leave a whole bunch of old newspapers in the trunk for a few days.

Remove, replace as needed.

It works. Old newspaper is very absorbent.

Also, fabreze does wonders if used liberally. I sold my old Miata to a non smoking family after a bout with fabreze, and they thanked me for not having smoked in the car!

1. Your coworker is dumb.

2. Thats unbelievable, lucky cat.

3. I really really liked that movie. I thought it was a bit hard to follow at times maybe, and I haven't seen the older version or read the book, maybe that has something to do with it.

I say you stop being a cheapass and buy a Torsen. Don't waste money on what you *think* may be a solution when you already know what is the solution.

Yeah your right, when I get out of bootcamp and all that I'll either put a torsen in what I've got, or get a '01+ SE package NB like I really want.

Or by a V8 swapped car.

Read the book. Do yourself the favor. You'll re-watch the movie and probably end up hating it, lol.

Is it beer o clock yet?

I'm working on reviewing a 150 page pdf file to bid on an addition to Walmart, writing up an estimate for another job we looked at this morning and going through the first set of old books I have laid out to come up with some pricing.

There just arent enough hours in the ------- day.

If I have a bad O2 sensor, would my check engine light come on? Any idea how I can tell which one is bad since I've got two? I ask because I'm getting 20-22mpg and soot on my exhaust tip.

It should.

Pull the codes. The system has about a dozen different DTCs for the various failure modes of both sensors individually.

You know, it's interesting that you mention this. My own car recently plummeted from the high 20s to about 18-19. And I'm running both a wideband and a narrowband sensor, which both agree that my closed-loop mixture is correct. Haven't really put any effort into troubleshooting it yet- I'm starting to wonder if fuel isn't pouring out of the car from some loose fitting somewhere.

Did it do this to you a few months ago too? I've heard going from summer blend to winter blend of gas gives you worse mileage, maybe the same is true of going from winter to summer blend, or do y'all even have different blends in socal?
