Trust me that shit was deleted immediately.

Oh I know. Usenet was popular before the world wide web. I got my first pc in '92 I think and the internet was brand new and shiny, I remeber tryin to explain to Melissa what the "net" was when I brought home the pc. Of course I used BBS's before the web, I remember downloading pics and games from bbs's @ 9600baud. Back to usenet though, it was there where I encountered some porn I wish I could forget, back then there was "actual" kiddie porn widely available on usenet, not some UK 18 and 19yrs olds, I saw something once purely by accident that I will never forget and wish I could. You know you always hear about this crap, people getting busted with tons of videos of little kids and you never quite understand the horror of what its really like unless you've seen it. And trust me, once was enough. So if you're gonna druge around on usenet, do so carefully cause there IS some bad shit out there. And you don't want that crap on your pc.

Dude, usenet is so '90's. Seriously, haven't used a newsgroup since the late 90's.

C'mon, its BS, the website says...."Nude It" will be available for download right here in just a few days, so keep checking in! Pretty sure it will ALWAYS say "in just a few days".

Update..... some good news. The engine light was OFF when Melissa started it up to leave work. She made it home, the light never came on and the car drove okay. Also, I forgot to mention, while we were out at Walmart last night i picked up a bottle of fuel injector cleaner and we threw that in the tank and topped off last night. Just sayin, not that it made any difference, just forgot about it.

Well who couldn't. But none of those things are more important than getting our car fixed. Its my wife's only means of transportation to/from work, at least during the winter. Its gotta be done.

At this point it doesn't really matter to me the money we spent thus far, I just want it to be fixed, I got Friday off so I'll be taking it in myself and hanging around in their waiting room. I just don't want to sink any MORE money into it at this time for THIS problem. If something else comes up later so be it, I'm stuck with the car for a couple more years now until I get a personal loan and my bike loan paid down.

Nice prank video. Doesn't take a genius to figure out how they did that. Did take a little bit of practice though.

Update..... so I just talked to the Mgr @ Boyds, I'm gonna take it back in to them on Friday, at that time they are gonna replace the ignition coils and cables, not sure who's gonna pay for it yet, we didn't discuss that, I get the impression it may be another freebie cause they seem as frustrated about this as I am. Don, I'll request the "actual" codes from them when it goes back. I'm tryin to get Friday off so "I" can take it back and stay there with it to put some pressure on them by me being there waiting on it.

Who seemed to start this rumor that I never get mad or cuss?? I don't drink much, so catching me drunk is a rare occurance but for god sakes man I'm frickin Italian, I've got a very short fuse when it comes to my temper! (just ask the wife) Anway, quick update before I head off to work, wife just called, she made it to work and the car ran absolutely fine, asside from the fact that the light is still on, gotta take it back to have that turned off later.

We'll see how it runs for the wife on the way to work tomorrow. I may call them and discuss the possibilities of the coils again. Thanks for letting me vent all this shit here, and thanks for all the input. Goin to bed. L8TR.

I know, I'm betting that the O2 sensors and both convertors were fine, the cause of the misfires is most likely still the original and elusive problem, I think it led to the cat/O2 codes. With the mileage on the car I don't doubt the plugs and cables were needed, but probably not the cats (at this point anyway).

You probably don't have all the drivers loaded for the pc, in particular the NIC card (network interface card).

There was a book???

Honestly, I don't mind paying the money I've paid so far, I just want it to be fixed. Up until now we've had very little trouble with this car other than tires and brakes.

Invoice shows NGK Platinum. Heres copies of the invoices (so far)... Repair #1 page 1, Repair #1 page 2 Repair #2 Repair #3

Well I've got two brand new cats! They checked the ignition coils, I asked that again tonight, they said they're good.

They've never charged us to read the codes. They also did an computer analysis on the first visit there for free when they replaced the plugs and cables. I doubt I'll be able to get the "actual" codes for you. As for the price, well everyone knows you can get the parts yourself for cheaper, but when you have someone else doing the work for you everyone's gotta make some money on the part.

That was kinda cool.

At $202 a piece (two of them) I certainly hope they replaced em. I don't know what the code numbers were they got, only what the code meant.

No but she watched from outside, when I got back to the car she said "you were really yellin at him weren't you", I said yeah, why. She said I was swinging my arms all over the place and shit, what can I say, I'm Italian!

Every time the code has been "random cylinder misfire" or "catalytic converter efficiency". Thing is, lots of different things can cause the cylinder misfire code, it doesn't tell you WHAT caused it, only that it happened. I think a faulty fuel injector is a good possibility, it may have been the problem all along. BTW, it ran fine the rest of this evening even though the lite stayed on.

So, for those that don't know, our car is not feeling well, see post #19 and 22 in this thread... http://www.ohio-riders.com/showthread.php?t=40371 (I don't feel like explaining it all over again) So, third time in the shop, they tell us on Monday they replaced the "rear" catalytic convertor and drove it for awhile, and its running fine now and is fixed, again (3rd time). I tell them... keep it til tomorrow, run it in the morning when its cold, then call me and tell me its fixed. They do, they ran it this morning, and again this afternoon with no problems, so we get excited AGAIN that are car if finally fixed, again, yay. Wife picks it up at 6:30pm tonight, drove it home, ran fine. We decide to go out to dinner and to stop at Walmart for a few things. Get back in the car at 6:55pm, turn the key, engine shakes, engine light comes on and flashes, car sounds like its running on 2 fricken cylinders! At this point, I fucking explode! I'm fucking off-the-hook pissed! I give it some gas and it stops shaking and the light stops flashing but stays on. We proceeded to drive back over to the shop which closes at 7pm, we get there at 7:05, the guy is still inside, I went inside and tore him a fucking new one. I was yellin at the guy so badly some other dude that was sitting over in the waiting area came over and stood near him cause I think he thought I was gonna fucking hit him! I'd never do that, just needed to vent! I'm a little dude, i can't fight so I gotta make a lot of noise! Anyway, after I cooled down and we talked a little about what it did, and the fact that giving it gas made it go away now he thinks maybe its a fuel injector. Sounds logical. So back to the shop its gonna go on Friday, we're gonna see how it acts the next couple days. I think when this is all done and over with their gonna block our phone numbers from calling their store . BTW, they made this last repair at no cost, not sure whats gonna happen next.

^^^^^ Put way to much thought into that reply ^^^^^^
