Hesitation or jerking while under 3000rpm, though the higher the revs goes, the less this happens, How well does it idle? Poor idle & poor running at low revs can often be due to air leaks in the inlet manifold after the MAP/Air Flow sensor. If the fuel pump speed is variable then poor fuel pump function at lower pump speeds can also give similar poor behaviour. Grant Darwin NT ID: 1824398 ·  |

How well does the 2.0L engine idle? Pretty good. Wild Arse Guess- Idle usually involves some sort of bypass, and it's OK. So an air leak is less likely, but still possible. It's OK at mid & high revs, but rough at lower revs- air fuel mixture possibly not right, and that's most likely due to air getting in that the MAP/Air Sensor isn't aware of. If it revs OK when pulling under load (doesn't struggle to get to the limiter/red line) & fuel economy is no worse than normal then it's either a very slight air leak, or the Throttle Position sensor is dodgy in the lower throttle opening position.

Paid a lot for the new throttle body, got a block away and the light came on again. Have to take it back and see what else is up. David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. ID: 1824436 · |

Do you know you can buy your own obd2 Scanner Tool at WalMart for about $15. Save the fee and trip. I bought mine over 15 years ago (cost a lot more back then) and it's saved me thousands.

I borrowed one at work and cleared the codes. The engine stopped running. I started it, but it kept dying until I shut the key completely off and opened the door. Then it started again, but the light came back on. Yesterday, they replaced the throttle body thingy. I didn't even get a block away before it came back on. I went back today and they replaced the oil pressure sensor. It has stayed off so far. I have thought of buying one, but knowing what the problem is does me no good if I don't have the ability to fix it myself.

I grew up a SoCal wrench head. Built my first engine (a 427 hemi) at the age of 14. Raced it in my back yard. I had a big back yard.

Car passed emissions Monday. I passed the written test for my license renewal (1 wrong) and got that and a plate sticker Tuesday. Things are coming back together, somewhat.

Potter: [on the phone] Look, Colonel, a hospital's got to know what to expect. If there's a push on, give me some warning. We're both in the same war, ya know. I'm not over here because I'm such a fan of diarrhea. Now if you hear an- hello? Colonel? Colonel! [hangs up phone] Creeps. Radar: Who, sir? Potter: Colonels. You can't trust any of 'em. They're just this far from making general. They can taste those stars. They'll do anything to get 'em. Never mind if they don't deserve 'em, if they don't know their brass from their elbows. Captains and majors are okay; they're too far away, they don't have to make points. And generals usually relax once they've made it. Although I had one in the cavalry, ordered all horses corked before parades. [looks at the food Radar has been dishing out] Is that a beak? Radar: Uh, it's chicken, sir. It's sort of a beak stew. Potter: [examines can] That's surplus. Radar: Yes sir. Potter: Take it away. I sent this dinner back in World War II.

The US government thinks rats are good for something or is this just another waste of our tax money? US funding new soldiers in wildlife trafficking war: giant rats Elite rat team to begin by spotting illegal shipments of pangolins, the world’s most trafficked animal, at ports in Tanzania The US Fish & Wildlife Service is spending $100,000 on a pilot project that will train rats to detect the illegal items and learn to communicate this to their human handlers. The rats, which can grow up to 3ft long, have poor eyesight but an excellent sense of smell. They have pouched cheeks, much like a hamster, which give the species its name. ID: 1826755 · |
