I'm looking at short term trim values or long term? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I got up a little early today, warmed up the car and ran the engine at 2500-3000rpm for a few minutes. Then watched the O2 sensor values in the scan tool. For the most part, they all look normal. However, Sensor 1 Bank 1 periodically spikes up anywhere from 1.8 to 2.3V....what could be causing this?

Dude, thanks. Misfire? Bad Cat converters? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi all, After changing my O2 sensors last week, I'm now randomly throwing a P0420 code. Below is the FF data. Can anyone interpret this? I've read that if the fuel trim is low it could be a fuel injector or fuel pressure regulator problem....if it's too high I could have a vacuum leak. But I don't know what I'm really looking at here....thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I got it swapped.....took a while. It's the angle and lack of visibility. Jesus. While doing spark plug yoga on top of the engine, I somehow managed to do something to my Throttle Position Sensor.....threw a P0120 right away....no signal at any of the terminals on the TPS. I have no idea what I did. But, a 45 minute drive to town at 15km/hr got me a new one at the auto parts store. What a week. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The #6 spark plug sucks! Just sayin' Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did buy the Pathy used.....She is my second vehicle.....my first was a 1980 Ford F250. That was so easy to work on compared to this vehicle. I grew up in a big city and didn't even start driving until my later 20s which were just a few years ago. I have no idea what something is supposed to feel like. Hence why I'm worried about asking dumb questions, lol My front end feels loose...like there is lots of play in it. I've been trying to track down a rattle as well.....I though I had it when I found the sway bar bushings were missing. I swapped new ones in. the ride got better, but still loose and rattly.

It's 2000 R50 The struts are in on the proper side. It's just the mounts at the top where they attach to the body that I'm concerned about. I think they are also called strut bearings? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Facing forward...driver's side is left. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So, I changed all 4 O2 sensors today. Was getting P0138 and P0158 codes randomly....managed to only lose one set of pliers in the engine bay, so I'd say it was a success! [emoji6] Anyways, while I was crawling about in there, I noticed that my right strut mount has a big "L" on it. As well, my left strut mount has a big "R" on it. How bad is this? I had my struts and a lot of other stuff replaced in the fall....what would this mistake result in? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm learning here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Beauty, thanks. Just curious, would a vg33ER fit? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh, don't get me started on ICBC and their cash-grabbing standards. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks man! You have it right, another absolutely beauty day in paradise. Might go do a little fishing today! Right now I'm trying to cost each option out....it's a repair or replace, and if replace, do so with what game right now.....just looking at numbers. If I go with the replace option, more towing ability would be nice. I towed a trailer this weekend, a 1100 pound BBQ trailer, it towed fairly well except for the climb up the hill from town was a struggle. I am eyeing a camping trailer down the line. Just want to see what ideas all of you have on engine swaps etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pretty sure it is a 21inch curved. Great spot for it. Have now noticed a little overheating on hill climbs though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So, my OCD is having me sit here planning out future engine repairs to my 2000 R50. I love this vehicle! I'm facing the possibility over the next year of oil pump, timing belt/water pump/distributor, possibly a head gasket (am losing coolant+a little sludge under the oil cap)....those are the major, the minor work to the engine is longer, but more general upkeep at 315,000km and over. Rebuilt engines don't seem to be that expensive....what are your thoughts? Repair or replace? What engine? Currently I'm running a VG33E...go for an VG33ER? A 3.5L?.....I had one friend suggest converting to diesel, another suggest dropping a chevy V6 in. What are your thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any other pros (or cons) of a snorkel? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just curious....has anyone tried pulling the distributor on a R50 and reaching in to get at the knock sensor? Seems like if you have a tiny handed helper it would work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here's what I did...... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A few of you have asked for contact info for the guy I bought my light bar from (see photo). His name is Aviv Barkay. Great guy to deal with. He ships right away, no hassles. Info below. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

$240 Canadian for the light and shipping combined. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There is a guy on Vancouver Island that imports them and sells them. I can get you his info if you want? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
