    Is no one playing Portal 2? (No Spoilers)

    Being I got it for 35 bucks, If I get 8 hours out of the story and another 3 out of co-op with one play through that seems like a good value for me. I can easily play through it twice so I'm not sure how many hours you think should be in a game? The quality of the experience is well above many...

    Is no one playing Portal 2? (No Spoilers)

    I usually don't buy games launch day but I had to grab this and it's been awesome so far! I got it on ps3($55 with amazon $20 bonus) and it comes with a pc/mac Steam download which is cool even though my macs can't run it ha. Within the first few minutes it had me LOL'ing and it's kept up the...

    Failing emissions and need help (sc300)

    Well, I'm glad you passed but I'm not sure how that helps me other than hating you for passing the first time ; p . Just an update, the other day I was about to walk out the door to do my test and checked online to see how long of a wait. The station had a 20 minute wait so I decided to hold...

    Tokico warranty?

    That sounds good in theory but it seems people are having issues and being turned away by the vendors because they didn't buy the shocks there.

    Tokico warranty?

    There was a thread on another forum that brought up a lot of questions, I was wondering what people think here. Supposedly Tokico does not warranty their products directly. You must make a warranty claim with the vendor who you purchased from. I know a lot of us buy stuff online or some of...

    Failing emissions and need help (sc300)

    Still struggling here and found one diagnostic test that fails. This is from the FSM(shown below), and I get No rpm increase where I should get 100-300 increase. The problem is, the FSM doesn't list anything to then check as the cause, just shows that test and then goes into each individual EGR...

    Well, scratch all that. I just tested the sensor with water(I was worried but someone said go for it). I got proper readings at 112* and at 212*. Back to square one again grr.

    The saga continues. I set the timing back to stock and reset the ECU figuring that would be the best way to get a clear start. I was going to drive it a few days until it hits the 90s for the big test day. Well, driving after reseting the ECU and adjusting the timing I get a CEL. Pull the code...

    Failing emissions and need help (sc300)

    Ok, I tested the EGR vacuum module and cleaned the filter it seams fine, the VSV checks out also. I've been asking around and everyone is stumped why I had better readings with advanced timing, aside from the weather that day could throw the results by a Lot seems strange. I am thinking of...

    Ok, just gone done with carb cleaner test and found nothing. I Put on the eye protection with a fire extinguisher handy I had the ole lady sit in the car(warmed to operating temp) to watch the rpm just incase it was very subtle. I sprayed some carb cleaner into a vacuum hose to hear/feel...

    Ok, I will do the carb cleaner then ha. I've never sprayed carb cleaner to check for leaks though, it should be obvious if the if the idle jumps I assume. I am also going to test if the EGR is sticking closed, when I had it off to clean it was closed but I didn't think to check if it was opening.

    I was checking for a vacuum leak and found nothing this morning. I hooked my vacuum gauge up to the brake booster nipple on the intake and it held solid and raised with the throttle, never jumped or dipped. I used a length of small diameter heater hose held to my ear and ran it along all the...

    Failing emissions and need help (sc300)

    On another forum(I'm sure he's reading here too ha) someone is suggesting I advance my timing back to what I had it at for test 2 and even advance it slightly more. That was the only change besides the ambient temperature. I thought advanced timing was bad for NoX though and it was standard...

    Thanks for the input, I should not I use 91 octane from a quality station. I also spent the afternoon removing the EGR and cleaning it, it was very black and cruddy inside. I got it as clean as I could spraying/soaking it and using 3 cans of carb cleaner. It went from black carb cleaner...
