Never tried but the theory behind how it works suggests it won't on small dings. I've been wrong before though so let us know how you make out.

Dunno how the 2J is wired but I went out of my way to mod the fans on my 7M to do that.

^ lol...tasty I'd post some aviation bird strike photos but they're not for the squeamish. What happens to our feathered friends at 300+ knots or when they go through a prop isn't pretty ;)

Yeah, it'll fry the heater in the gage. The USDM sensor and gage are a matched set that depend on each other because of the principle behind how they work.

I knew I had this for a reason ;)

Works well depending on how big the dent is. I just popped one out of the gas tank on my bike. Heat the area first using a hair dryer then apply cold. Dry ice is a hassle. Use a can of electronics freeze spray or air duster held upside down: http://tinyurl.com/2q7e2j You an also use...

I agree. Autoshop is a valuable resource from a technical standpoint but it will not teach diagnostic skills. Those are separate and require at minimum common sense, something that unfortunately seems to be lacking in many people.

Questionable Cause (actually Post Hoc fallacy in this case) is but one of several logical fallacies that can occur to those inexperienced at daignostics. Many people will claim good diagnostic abilities only come with experience but it's not true. They can be taught. I know, in a younger day I...

The TSRM outlines simple procedures for testing the gages and senders.

Lmao. I too am confused. If he's willing to pay why not just have a local tech look at it? Couldn't cost much. Based on the description it has to be a relatively simple problem.

http://tinyurl.com/cnhsk I would not have said anything to your mechanic. You're now ripe for the pickins'...

^ No, all you need is to hold the wires close and the electricity will jump through the air...

Well done. Pamela would be proud ;)

If by warm up you mean idling you don't have to, turbo or not. In fact doing so is bad for it.

Hmmm. That's powerful queer. I don't see how that can happen, at least not electrically. Are you sure it's related? Jumper the clutch switch and try starting it in neutral with the clutch out. Sounds more like a timing problem. When it starts how does it run? Any codes? Like maybe a 13?

Ok, I'll bite. Any fan of Lamarossa deserves help ;) Since both low beams are driven by the same fuse, switch, and wiring the headlight problem has to be either the plug or wiring. It can't be the combo switch, fuse, or integration relay. I'm trusting you the bulb is good... As far as the...

Any car can be a real pain in the ass depending on the job. Even this one. Smallbutthater is on the verge of finding that out ;) You can get the gasket at some auto stores but the quality tends to be lame. Since it's a high temp material and this is not a job you want to do twice I'd get the...

Yeah, you did. The most important thing of all. The one thing he doesn't have and can't buy...

More vacuum nonsense. 30 what, in/hg? Maybe on Jupiter but not on this planet. Good grief, don't they teach even basic science anymore? edit: Apparently not: http://tinyurl.com/yvtptj And that was 12 years ago. At least we beat South Africa....

^ Maybe, but I don't think they'll handle -71 or 20-25 lbs/hg....whatever that means ;)
