    Just as skin develops freckles for protection after being damaged by the sun; i believve my brain has been damaged enough (by other things) that if it were skin it would be all freckle coloured......the U is because i spell the word properly.

    What did you do to your Pathfinder today?

    Am I ever glad I work at good ol'CT; I got some afterwork-time in the shop...air tools, tire machine, hoist, the works!

     

    gave me a chance to finally get my spare off the old steely and onto the proper al-you-min-ium wheel :rolleyes: soooo shiney!

     

    cleaned out the K&N cone for the CAI...what a mess that was(first timer here).

     

    Finally got my hands on a timing light to reset the timing but when I set it to 12 the idle goes up to 1200. Adjust the idle screw you say? its maxxed out, I can't :shrug: so 15 it is for now I guess.

     

    I started a thread in here about my engine quitting when I let off the gas...got that solved.....dashpot yeah.

     

    AND....drum roll...scored 2 free tires :aok: ...buutt one is a full size spare(no wear) and the other is at 1/2 tread. So, the big question for any experienced members is- Is that enough of a difference on a normal LT tire to eff up my diffs? I'm a little worried, but if anyone in running like that with no problems (front and rear) please lemme know as i would really like to save the $300

    Actually you're a bit wrong. The briton accent is due to speeeking gaelic and having other languages introduced...ever hear english people sing? The accent dissapears completely...

     

    And, Canadians say ab-out...not american a-bow-t. We also say roof and root, not NE american ruff and rutt. Which i always laugh at because they still say boot properly. And lets not even mention your louisiaaaaana or our east coasters

    please read the following so you know whats going to happen.

    Then read the following so you know what that paragraph means.

    If the page is too long, there is a really good picture at the top that pretty much sums it up. Once you're done reading or after you install your new leaf blower, which ever comes first, check out the following...

    I would have typed all that out for you, but someone already did...AND these are all things on the internet that are actually true.

    Extreme Cold Weather Problem

    Ok so here's the what's up

     

    Today, It was -49C w/windchill and I had all the normal problems: STIFF clutch, molasses in the tranny, no turn signals etc(anyone else have these happen?). But, these are all fine; I know they happen and why, except the signals :scratchhead:

     

    One thing, however, I just can't figure out. When coasting to a stop the engine dies immediately. No sputter. No chug, No shake. It just drops smoothly down to zero rpm. If I dump the clutch or turn the key(without doing anything else), it starts right back up like nothing is wrong.

     

    Here's how it happens:

    On the clutch off the gas, over 3k rpm -25C and colder.

     

    *if I tap the gas as light as you can imagine, when its below 3k rpm, the rpm drops just as smoothly down to idle.

    **from 0C to -24C the same thing happens but only down to 400rpm, then it bounces back up to idle.

     

    I'm usually really good at figuring this stuff out, but I'm stumped. I can't even find an answer in the Good Book.

     

    Anybody?

    Re: pretty much all of 94sev's comments.

     

    I think all these guys are right right man. The ram air from snorkel needs a little more math than holding a bag out the window to debunk, but simon is right on that one too (insert gr.8 physics class here).

     

    who else tried the blowing on the hand thing? bahaha.
