also try and put some dielectric grease on your maf and the tps connectors

Well being a mechanic I would say tell him the background but between the one and two o'clock position should suffice. There is some adjustment room to fine tune so nothing too scary to think about. They should be able to crank the engine over to number one anyway and get it done that way anyway...hope that helps!

Do you have a gas smell inside and outside the car? If so it could be your Evap canister. Have you had your injectors checked? MAF? O2 sensor? Fuel filter? Those are all that come to mind at the moment.

Have you ever tried to tighten your tuners? Maybe you need to try re-stringing it and use some nut lube too. It works great.

I have been playing for like 10 years now, but haven't really progressed for about four years now since I have been working non stop. I used to have 3 electrics, now 2, sold the ibanez, but I still got the 84 squire bullet, and the cheap epiphone special 2, and got my dad's 36 year old yamaha acoustic. I have tuned them all up and even replaced the truss rod on the squire. Love it, wish I had someone around who actually pushed me to play more.

X2, also check to see if your sway bar may be a factor, had a car once that I had to change over the linkage and it then sat level. Just a thought!

I did what UNCC did. I took an old Chevy hub socket with the four tabs and ground two off and ground the other two to fit the holes. Works like a champ!

Looks sick as hell, go for it!

X2 on that. To clean a dirty or clogged cat, get some white gas, or mineral spirits, and let it sit inside and swish it around. Worked wonders on my civic's cat till I put a high flow on. Other than that, Watch out man, shops can do some funky stuff. Check your evap canister and see if it is now clogged. I bet they forgot to hook something up, or put your distributor back in a tooth off or something. Either way, check those out, and also make sure they got the TPS nice and tight and plugged in, I did that on mine! Try those things, hope it works out for ya!

Not hating, but he's got a point. Either way, cool stuff man, I did stuff like that in an 84 Honda Accord, and trust me, plenty of ground clearance to get through that with it, I went to some crazy places with it. Either way man, go find something that makes you say, I don't know, and then do it, it will blow your mind!

I would like to put it on the left of the brake pedal, old pedal style E-brake. Now that I like, so you don't see it and it remains functional. Either that or electronic, that would be B*tchin!

blue smoke typically means oil, but I have seen it being a bad mixture also, but I would start by watching your oil consumption, but for the idle area, I would say check cap, rotor, wires, plugs, then move the IAC solenoid, TPS, MAF, or fuel filter sometimes does that crap to the idle, but if you are missing like crazy revving and you got blue smoke, I am guessing somewhere you might have some oil getting into the chamber, but I could be wrong, lets hope so!

Just take it off, and make sure all wires and hoses don't go near it, unless you have headers, they are pretty much useless, which with headers, who cares let them show. Either way, when mine break, they are off for sure. Can someone say "Scrap Metal"?

My personal opinion is on trucks, OWL out, cars, white wall, unless vintage, in. But I am a little old school, even though I am only 26, still like them out. I have had them both ways on my pathy, and I think it looks better out, but your opinion is the only one that matters here anyway!

A/C condensor, not so hard, compressor and clearing the metal out, little different. Most people just take compressed air and shoot it through the lines, but you got to remember to do the receiver dryer too, so if you want to save money, find a way to do it yourself, but if you can't/don't have the tools/equipment, of course pay someone else, but shop around. Unless you live in BFE, you should be able to haggle with a bunch of mechanics who will try to all underbid eachother if you come in with one of their quotes. Easy as pie that way, just a lot of hot driving...LOL!

mine did that crap, check those little clip connections on the positive side. Mine corroded through on one of the, the green connector I think, maybe there are multiple green ones, but those things are a corrosion heaven so check there too. Also, then see if you can wiggle the wires individually, while running, to see if it is just one or the whole mess. Good luck, mine took ten minutes to fix once I found it.

not to mention being scary as hell when you have a 1000 foot drop off of a highway with a piece of crap retainer between you and the cliff and you hit a dang bump. Definately first thing I do when I buy a new vehicle, regardless of age or conditon. I know it is a slight waste of money, but what can I say, I would rather be safe then sorry. I should check out my strut rod bushings, my wheel use to shake every time I hit a bump, until I installed a steering damper. Maybe that is the cause in the first place, now I barely feel it though.

I second that, cuz mine is a 94 with EFI not TBI, and it does it from time to time, and it isn't the fuel filter, I have replaced that lots of times, it doesn't help. Only thing I have found that makes it quit for a while is using 87 gas or BG 44K every three months for 3 or 4 oil changes. Then I don't get it at all. Maybe mine is an oil burnoff problem, I got 220k on it. I got it with 160k and it has done it since I got it. It seems to get better in warm weather though. Haven't checked out my injectors though, probably why 44k helps.

well, why would you use an inflatable tent in the winter anyways. Nice for the 3 seasons, but who really, truly camps alot in winter. Even then just get a military spec sleep system for like 300 bones from your P/A. That is what my brother did with his TentCot and he can go 30 below. If you have that sleep system with your pathy I bet 40 below would work, and where in the US is it that Temp? But yea, sweet tent, you see another one for 30 bucks, you let me know, I will buy three and sell the others to people on here for the same price, maybe even less cuz I would feel guilty...LOL!

mine does that every once in a while too. Does yours smoke some rich @$$ smoke when it happens also? Mine does that, but it hasn't done it now for quite some time.

There are two screws under the hazards and dimmer toggle. Take those out, and if I remember correctly it will just snap out. There should be like two or three metal clips. Other than that, should be cake.

Just SAS it...LOL sorry just thought I would be an @$$

X2, they are Street Utility Vehicles, not Sport Utility Vehicles...LOL
