Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

Last night I had to change to oil twice so it would stop being milky, this was due to me dumping the entire contents of the LIMs coolant into the lifter valley grrrrr. I wanted to drive it after that got halfway out of my neighborhood and it just shuts off cranks no start. Start looking around and see that the cam and crank sensor wires were not broken but RIPPED out of the sensors. Jacked car up re ran wires plug them back in notice the damn the ICM ground wire was broken manage to get car to start drive it back to house, dies. Fix the ground this AM car wont start wtfmode active, car has spark, ok, fouled plugs, pedal to floor CRANKCRANKCRANKCRANKCRANKCRANKCRANKCRANKCRANKCRANK CRANKCRANKCRANKCRANKCRANKCRANKCRANKCRANKCRANKCRANK CRANKCRANKCRANKCRANKCRANK let off pedal and car starts warm it up because it will stall out (no tune yet) if you hit the gas too much before OppTemp, mmm richness. Hopped in drove to work no issues. I make a trip to the dyno tomorrow Powerhaus Performance. The tuner there left Race Proven Motorsports (RPM) in Delaware to open his own place in NJ

You do realize when you put the pedal tot he floor (engine not running) it turns off the injectors?

Yay! Scare some more tuners to nj

I didn't know that, that's interesting.

That's how the manufacturers solved the issue of people pumping the pedal on the early injection models. People were flooding them. So if you stuff the pedal to the floor and crank..you get prime but then the injectors are off for a bit.

my 03 gmc truck, the butter fly on the TB didn't work till the engine was running. engine off, key to run, the flap sat still, no matter how much you worked the gas pedal.

Must have been DBW

sure was Bill.

Eh... maybe

Used it as a junk/parts hauler once again. I think I am going to make one more trip today, then hopefully the last trip will be Sunday. Then I just have to make one or two runs when I go to work with stuff in it to get rid of in the dumpster.

I was told that is normal for my Acadia. I thought that was stupid.
