he said that the codes needed to be cleared that's why i was gettin' problems with the car.
Asfiveforward, i believe said, it was goin' into safe mode to prevent further damage to the engine.
i forgot to ask him why it did that though, with the codes an all.
anyways he said that if i'm drivin' and the problem happens again to just bring it back and he'll clear it again, no charge.
but he said that if he clears it and i start the car and he checks it again and the codes come back up after startin' the car and checkin' it, then i'd need to change those 2 sensors.
thanks for all your help guys! |
Sport20 glad to see you get through. Your mech was scamming you or what? |

^^ nice dev51!  Lehwee see some pics nah? 
Yuh already check Southern Sales? Ah know we had brought down a few V6. But is it 2.0 or 2.5? We have caps for both (dunno 'bout the external coil though) for around $450. I suppose yuh could check Rawle...he might have. |

for those of you who've been followin' up on my engine problem, well it's back again.
i'll have to go into laughlin again so the guy could check it out for me.
i noticed that it happened after i washed the engine. the only thing i covered was the alternator.
i'll see what the verdict is when i go back in to get it checked... |

^^ Yuh does have to be sooo very careful when washing engine!! I know some ppl does even disconnect dey battery....wash (de-grease) and dry (blow dry) then hook back up and re-set.
I does always have to dry out meh engine bay real good after an e-wash. And I usually only do that once per year. |

yeah i know how it is when you wash your engine but somehow i don't think it's because of the wash.
i have a K&N drop in replacement filter in the car and someone asked the question if their maf sensor could go bad because of the oil in the filter. K&N said that it will not cause an maf sensor to go bad, but i dunno...
i'll find out what the verdict is when i get it checked |

i doh wash with water at all. Buy a spray bottle that they does use with weedicide and some gas. Just pump up and spray away, then take a paint brush and brush away de grease. Come like washing with gas + gas alone does evaporate real fass. tehn iz WD$) in she ass, Whole tin 2. Doh tink u should have n e problem using this method.
sorry 2 hear about the problem |

The thing about washing your engine is that you should try to wash it when the engine is cold. washing it when the engine is still hot can cause the sensors to go bad. Sensors are delicate. think what happens when they are hot and then suddenly go cold. ... Anyway in addition to what fiveforward said I use some carb spray. Comes in real handy. |
