Couple ??'s
 

ok, first now that it is getting cold i have been getting horrible mgp's. and its kinda making me mad. During summer i could get 200 to 3/4 tank now driving the same i can only get about 160 for a whole tank!!!!! so i was going to go and do some maintaince tomorrow... also my car is starting to sputter.. when i am at wot the car kicks and sputters a little.

So i was going to go and pull my spark plugs tomorrow, check them, clean my maf. and finally get around to putting my cats on my x pipe (or think about it)
what else should i check to see if i can help my car... It just hasn't been running as good recently..

actually after i put my mac flowpaths on it started to happen. i don't know if that was a coincidence or the problem.. Please help

Thanks
Steven

I'd check your plugs to see if your running rich or lean. I think cold weather will cause you to run a little richer.

Also, when I clicked on your thread your sig lists my IP address and the place where my computer is located. Something to do with danasoft.com. It may not be visable to others, but I would ask that you please take that off or I will file a complaint with the mods.

In order for your plugs to tell you if you're running rich or lean you have to make a run, then shut the engine down at the end, then you can read them. I also remember Randy saying its not very accurate with pump gas.

jjt...it's only visible to you. It's a user agent interrogator. Smartasses like to put them in their sig so guys like you that don't understand will trip. Nobody else but you sees your info... It's like a status page for your computer delivered by your browser. Don't trip. FWIW, you send all that info to every web page you visit... it's not a secret.

EDIT: We'll all see our own IP and user agent info. Ghey huh?

Thank you....I don't know jack about computers and when I saw my info on his sig I was like WTF! Thanks for the info.

haha, nice about my sig. I like it, but that made a nice laugh for me... thanks
also now that you know what it does do you still want me to remove it??


Ok, so update. I didn't have the proper extension to pull my plugs, but i did clean my maf. and its running a little better. But i tomorrow i will pull the plugs and look...

na, no worries. I just didn't know what it was cause I'm a computer idiot and thought maybe everyone could see it.

ok cool... :D i love being computer smarts.. you can make people freak.. Like going around school taking all the desktop icons off.. thats funny!!

okay i cleaned out my maf, but i think i made a mistake, now i am pulling the code. P0401 Insufficient EGR Flow. what does that mean and how do i fix it??

but the cars runs nice now. no sputter, and its already showing better mpg's.

Yer done dude. Yer on the grid, you have been assigned a number. Better watch yer ass. In the next few days somebody will "accidentally" bump into you. it is actually an agent injecting you with an RFID chip, but no normal RFID chip, it also has the ability to produce specific frequencies that will dull your will to fight and make you easier to control.

You only have 1 chance.

In the next day or two the agent will attempt to implant the chip... you must kill them, do not hesitate and you can take them by suprise, then get the chip gun, it has an extractor. You must not let them implant that chip and if they do you MUST extract it before the Placate Activation Measure is activated on your chips network homing initiator. If the Placate Activation Measure is put into play you will be lost to us all.

Goods speed my friend.

:t:

Im not sure how I supposed to take that all i can do is sit here and ponder:rolleyes:

I think someone has been watching a 007 marathon!

Looks like me and mixbreed weren't the only ones around here that wear foil hats around the house.

one thing no has mentioned is that in winter may states move to oxygenated gas. This gas reduces emissions, but also lowers fuel economy slightly. chekc out the EPA's web site for more info.

http://www.epa.gov/otaq/oxygenate.htm

correct, that and the fact that we usally let the car sit and idle longer to warm-up, which doesn't help wth fuel mileage either ;)

LOL.....I'll be sleeping with one eye open from now on!

stupid california has that gas year round!

yeah dont remind me. hey coddiy yall have E85 up there where u at

Shhh.... cant talk now.... they are listening...
