^ Nah. The fact welding cable is designed to be oil and abrasion resistant, flexible, and carry high current at low voltage over sometimes considerable distances makes it completely unsuitable for remote battery applications. Come on Dave, don't you know anything? ;)

If running disconnect the fuel pump relay and let it die. If off pull a vacuum on the FPR hose with a hand pump, ect.

Put the dipstick back in.

You're welcome. See here for a list of vehicles equipped with EDRs: http://tinyurl.com/6zdx9 There are much better gadgets out there for keeping tabs on what your car does (and where it is) than factory EDRs if that's what you're interested in doing. Somehow I get the impression that's not...

That's way too much but nowhere near enough to drain a fully charged battery overnight. I have one car that pulls about 250 ma and it takes a week to bring the battery down to 40%. If the battery isn't fully charged though (and few are just from driving) the time will be less.

You're referring to what is called an Event Data Recorder. No, this car doesn't have one.

Nobody said what they actually measured. A stock car shouldn't have more than about 15-20 ma of parasitic draw total. Off the top of my head the keep alive loads are ECU , clock, and radio. If the alarm is activated it'll be a bit more. Even then I use Priority Starts on all my cars. They've...

It's not that complicated. Same as suspensions aren't that complicated ;)

Or he could simply turn the key on and stomp on the gas pedal...

They have lives?

Yeah, I've seen that one before. Causes a backfeed through the theft deterent system to Integration Relay # 2. The tails will also come on. The theft horn has to be connected/good for it to happen.

Yeah, at least that's what the wife claims ;)

You're gonna need more than 14".....

Sorry, I don't. Not much to see I'm afraid. I use a Magnefine inline filter on the PS system: http://tinyurl.com/yed4wx It fits well under the AFM on the return line. Someone on here did a nice job using a spin on for his PS. Can't remember who it was though. He mounted it up front where...

You'd have to run the engine in open loop, not something you want during cruise. Otherwise the ECU will do whatever it can to bring the mixture back into fuel control. Much of this discussion is somewhat theoretical in nature with multiple variables involved so I don't want people freaking out...

Assuming I understand what was written (not always the case) a bit of clarification: IDL must be brought low when the throttle is closed ie; the line must be switched to ground. It's pulled up to battery voltage by the ECU when open.

Lemme guess: Your car is an automatic...

If that's true you've got bigger problems than oil ;)

Well Will, since you're 33 obviously going on 15 I'm not surprised. Allow me to explain it to you. Signing a citation is not an admission of guilt but is a promise to appear. Refusal to do that is a crime. What I see in the video is another moron who, even though he presumably has a driver's...

You guys slay me. Signing does not admit guilt but it's sign or be arrested. What the guy did by not following commands was resist that arrest. The cop acted as expected and within the scope of the law. That aside, I recently walked away with almost $8K in profit from TASR. Took all of a few...
