you were talken about the ses light... well i could even read real time data on the car ...

yeah, BlackArrow had asked what the SES light was doin. The car isnt throwin any codes while running. However the real-time data would come in REAL handy. hmmm, how to get teh POS up to you...

idk .. any way possible ... i would love to help out on this project any way i could

ya know what? I would love to get help on this project any way anyone could. The information Im getting is REALLY gonna come in handy. I sure hope that this server dont crash or the domain fees dont lapse, then Id be SCREWED.

You wouldn't be screwed... If I recall correctly you have plenty of resources stored in that phone of yours... :p

that I do. More would be welcome, but this phone is pretty darn handy for wrench support.

so, uh, with a cracked and leaking plenum/UIM, would my engine sound cammed out?

that thing started up in about 2-3 minutes today instead of 10-15. she wants to come home. she leveled out idle VERY quickly. the exhaust is a bit aggressive sounding, which means most likely Flows (on a 2.8? why, lord, why?).

She's still a gutless wonder. 0-60 in around 10-15 seconds. at least today I was able to get 4th easy and get the kick-down gear. like the kick down gear matters in a sans-balls V6 *snickers* muscle car *teehee* such as mine.

Im still confidant that the POS wont make it over that hill between Cruces and home, but at least it can handle whatever Texas' Hill Country can throw at it. Barely.

Yep. The engine tries to compensate for the large vacuum leak and causes a stumbling that sounds like a lobey cam. It will also cause low rpm hesitation when you accelerate.

well, that tears it. I needa get Belen back to the house so I can replace the UIM. Ive had one sittin here since about summer last year. with the gaskets. c'mon Hot Rod Buddy Co-Worker, I need you to get back from TDY for car-hauling help...

btw: anyone have any feedback on Victor Reinz Gaskets? Thats what the leading distro here in town had in stock.

Thanks for the feedback, Jon.

i saw in the other post of yours you had it in an unsafe part of town, bring it up to iowa you can keep it here for free only thing is you have to let me work on it and drive it once and a while lol

lol. Im expecting it not to be in any danger any more once I get to Lufkin. Thanks for the offer. However, you are welcome to come to TX to drive the POS if you wanna.

lol ... if i had a week off i would drive down to TX

I've told him before to drop if off here and let me get it running... :p

Im willin to bet if I let you get Belen goin right, you'd private sell the G35, and Id never see (or is it recognize? ) the car again.

well if i could help if i had a room to stay, for tms or somethen lol !!!
