    Ramseys murderer found.

    ' Only in theory. My wife is a "social worker". Her degree is in psycology. Her job was investigation of these crimes. Not homicides, just the pedophiles. And it is very rare that "daddy" is only looking. Sick fuckers. :bigun2: I wish it wasn't so. I don't think he is getting what he...

    Ramseys murderer found.

    He is a pedophile, and according to the criminal justice system of me, should be executed anyway.

    IAT/MAP Sensor Placement

    Many factory IAT sensors are right on the intake manifold, as that is the heat of the air just before it is mixed with the fuel. I know our IAT is in the AFM , but the manifold after the TB isn't a bad idea, not counting the heatsoak problems to the sensor Dr J was talking about.

    Ramseys murderer found.

    He didn't do it. Some interesting things this weekend were how good of a sample was found. Up until now I had read about how it might not be good, but infact it is. And the small blood stain in her underwear matched other DNA on the body. Presumably under her fingernails. And John, the father...

    I know where he isn't getting that info from, Toyota. I don't think he is a Toyota tech. Maybe oil changes or something and is bullshitting you at your expense.

    Can bad EGR cause smoke inside engine?

    You have to look at them and see what is hooked up correctly. An EGR test is usually with a vacuum pump and DVOM. Rough idle is from an EGR valve that is hanging open for one reason or another. Detonation is reduced from EGR, not increased. Perhaps you have a very large leak at the valve and...

    starting problem..(s)

    Why not do what the battery tester suggested? A battery will discharge doing absoluety nothing. It should charge on a low setting for at least a day. If it doesn't come back, then get a new one. Then worry about testing your charging system.

    Can bad EGR cause smoke inside engine?

    While the Wiki info was half correct, don't use them for really anything. Yes NOx is formed from high temps. It happens when air (nitrogen and oxygen) are superheated. Such as in the engine, or in the upper atmosphere. Look for a vacuum leak. There is a vacuum routing diagram on the underside...

    high oil pressure at warm up

    I want to modify that. Don't drive it hard until it is warm, which is right where you were heading. And don't move the car for 10 seconds after starting. That is another nugget from that often ignored owners manual.
