Nitrogen is actually right below Oxygen on the periodic table Nope. N is just to the left of O on the periodic table. Sulfur is below Oxygen and Phosphorus is below Nitrogen. http://media-2.web.britannica.com/eb-media/45/7445-004-6D310733.gif See you got me already, lol. I meant below, as in 'befor...

Nitrogen is actually right below Oxygen on the periodic table, so I don't know if there's any truth to the 'doesn't permeate' argument. I thought the brown haze was just brake dust or dirt. Don't know what to say about the other points. This is just me making an assumption based on rational thought....

Hey, Atilla. My local CVS pharmacy had Vivitar digital cameras, complete with software, usb cable and batteries for $9.99. Wanna stop throwing away money on disposables and developing? I'm not really sure what I'm looking at with these numbers, but what does it have to do with disposable photography?

Why aren't I getting 30? I've never gotten that good in this car, ever. I've not gotten much better than 20, tops, even after replacing the whole engine. It's the 2.8 v6, in the 88 Formula (auto). Stock. I also notice in the last few months, it idles higher than normal, around 1500. The O2 sensor is...

Fixing the interior, etc.
It's been taking me a long time, due to a buildup of procrastination. I bought fabric this week to make a new shifter boot (for the auto). I bought way more than I actually needed, enough for six or seven extra, I think. I've also been gluing the center console vinyl back the way it's supposed to be...

Another idea in the pursuit of being a knuckle dragging typical cheap fiero owner! :la: Oh, also do be aware that I had a stumble and hesitation issue at ~2500 RPM - which I traced down to a gasket with a restrictor plate/hole assembly in it that you need to install... I never realized it was there...

Disintegrating Plastics
I just love how the slightest disturbance of various parts of the car cause things just crumble to nothing or split into bits that fall into the lawn forever. Case in point; the white-ish colored plastic clips that are supposed to hold the trim on the door to the door. I don't know why I felt the ne...

yeah same fucking motor. Turning shouldnt be affected by the tie rod ends unless they are fubar. That is the IAC, no idea what that knob is, but dont touch it until you have a factory service manual. The car must be pre 97 because I think they went to 2 liters at 97. The wire was rubbing? or was it...

What is a door when it is not AJAR?
I don't know, but the car thinks the door is open all the time now. The AJAR light on the dash is on, yet the interior lights stay off. It goes off sometimes if I slam the door really hard, but then it will just come back on later.

Sputtering under acceleration is Plug wires Garunteed. check the #4 plug wire, by the alternator. In fact check all the plug wires. I drive a 2.0 spi 100 miles a day and I can tell you they are bullet proof, except the damn #4 wire, 4 sets I have had arc through. I think there needs to be a heat sh...

You're right about the steering! had a chance to drive it, once it was up to speed, turning was........strange.p8ntman442 wrote:Sputtering under acceleration is Plug wires Garunteed.
Also, check her tie rod ends for her, I think they are made of penut butter, cause they slop around so much after 1000 miles.
