I'm with you EM. I entertained the idea of an Obama vote till I realized he was empty. I gave Fred Thompson $50 when he announced his candidacy. I'm not in love with McCain at all. Id rather be voting for someone else, but this is what we got. He's at least done some of the things both candidates sa...

We're mandated 10% ethanol in southeastern Wisconsin by the Clean Air Act or something, though if i went two counties over I can still find places that advertize 100% gas, or for just premium at least. I was in Iowa last week and almost every station sells both 100% and 90% gas, as well as e85. At l...

And I bet the politicians who thought all along that this was a good idea will still keep their jobs and act like they were doing something good. They're supposed to do the homework and investigate this crap before it screws us. We're supposed to be the dumb shits and they've got their Ivy League ed...

So I had a little fun this weekend. The dealer actually had the up-pipe gasket in stock, so I said fook it and swapped the turbo with my old one. I had some help from my friend Max for the turbo, but I can honestly say I'm quite proud of myself. I've never done this much to an engine without a bonaf...

So tonight, on the way home, I finally got consistant full boost. Very nice, except I tore out the whole intake after dinner. I found that the turbo has a couple drips of oil sitting in it on the inlet side and I can wipe my finger on both the inlet and outlet side and feel oil. In fact, almost all ...

The company I work for does the service on the DOT cameras in our state. We were able to see in better clarity than the evening news, and it's entirety, how a tanker truck lost a wheel. It rolled towards the barrier median at about 60 mph, jumped into the air at an extreme arc, and just pulverized s...

So I checked the wires out and everything seems intact and well. There's infinite resistance between the shield and the wire, and the continuity is good on both from one end to the other. The crack is actually only on the insulator for the sensor wire. I pulled the piece of electrical tape an inch o...

Nope. I know all about the green connectors. In fact, just before I came in for dinner, I had to move them out of the way so I could drop my remote start module to get at my ECU plugs. Thanks for the lookout though. I'm off now to check the resistance/continuity of that knock sensor wire. Be back so...

The car ran a little better today, but still had the automatic CEL upon firing it up. Still has the half-boost issue too. I don't think its a boost leak, just the ECU telling me NO. The idle isn't nearly as shitty and no high RPM idle, so I hope this is an upward trend. I plan on going over every co...

Help needed: washed engine - more problems
So I decided to degrease and powerwash my engine Sunday. I expected a few issues that would soon go away, but now i have some real issues. I apologize for things not being in perfect chronological order. First - I washed it because I have a couple things to change coming up. I have swap my IAC valve...

My car ran like absolute shit after a buddy filled my tank with regular unleaded. It had ran a little funny for the way home - sputtering intermittantly, got hellah knock, hardly any power, real shitty idle. I called my friend the next day and asked him what he filled my tank with after borrowing it...
