  2. SWing'R mobile repair saga continues....

    +1 on the code reader idea... but see if they'll loan it to you or rent it to you so you can have it plugged in while your wife drives around so you can read the instantaneous data out of the port.

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned a MAF/MAP/IAT sensors. If the computer isn't registering the proper intake, it'll start running lean/rich depending on how bad it's out and will cause idle issues. My parents Buick ran rough at idle and it ended up being the MAF sensor right at the intake - $60, done deal.

    Unfortunately, a code reader isn't going to give him anything useful. A full scan tool will, but knowing how the data in the datastream means is beyond most people.

    MAF/MAP/IAT/TPS/ECT, etc..... aren't USUALLY going to cause a problem such as a misfire that is severe enough to cause the MIL (Check engine, service engine light Malfunction Indicator Lamp) to flash. I'd have to double check to be sure, but it has to be a condition that causes the engine to pollute enough to damage the catalytic converter to flash the light.

    Random/Multiple misfire is P0300

    Catalyst efficiency Bank 1 is P0420

    They SHOULD note what the codes are on the invoice. I always try to do so at the shop.

    If what they got deviates from this, they may be barking up the wrong tree.

    I'm not 100% sure, but if it's electrical on an injector, it SHOULD set an injector code. It COULD be an injector flow (restricted) problem. Same with the ignition system, if a coil fails on the primary side, and sometimes the secondary, it will set a coil code. Not sure on Mazda though.

    What brand and type of plugs did they put in it? Some cars just will not run right on the wrong plug! A Mazda should probably have NGK V-powers in it.

  5. Anyone else bored out of their minds today?

    very bored they have shut the internet down on the pcs on the floor. My mill has been running for the past 2 weeks and will still be running for another 5. 12 hrs of fuck im bored. I've read every shred of paper in the place. Found all the porn stashed away (thier is a suprising amount of it). Did I mention I stared at the floor for about 2 hours today. Fuck'n aye I'm bored. The highlight of my night will be taking a pic of my poo for 1000RRRRIDER someone claimed he collects them.

    Easy, I didn't claim HE collects them, just that he expressed interest. He SAYS that they're for Yota. :dunno:

  8. What's your download speed?

    This is over the wireless, it's better wired, I'll post that one later. That upload is as good as it gets for me, though. RR with powerboost. Powerboost allows you to hit up to 22 mbps for a short time, then it is supposed to throttle back to 15 or whatever it is. I've never had it throttle back.

  9. How many miles for the year?

    We need to start a countdown till Spring... I can't wait... I usually love winter, but now I have a bike, so now warm weather can't come soon enough.

    According to Jym Ganahl, there's about 100 more days that it CAN still snow, historically. I'll see what I can find as a good day to count for the riding season to begin and start a thread.

  11. What's for lunch?

    same thing as yesterday PB&J its cheap and I aint working. Plus my lil girl didnt have school today and thats somthing she can "cook" for me . :)

    Nothin wrong with some PB&J once in a while! I have that probably about once a week when I go home for lunch. PB&J, Hot Pockets, and frozen burritos and nachos for the cheap WIN! I was thinking pizza bagels for today, but I decided to do the bag of chips thing and not go home for lunch.

  18. Anyone on here a franchisee?

    i dont bash back on any of you to instigate this.

    Try it! You might have fun!

    Seriously, there's nothing wrong with dreaming, and dreaming big, but be realistic about it, and be responsible along the way, and listen to those of us that have been living in the real world.

    As for posting around here, try to get involved in some other conversations, prove that you're not a tool, or troll, and that you are smart, and the bashing will subside. Otherwise, quit! That what ALL the winner's are doing!

    its like im fighting this rediculus endless battle just to be able to post on here...

    RIDICULOUS

  23. Time Warner Cable???

    WTF, Time Warner has level 2 or 3 customer support?

    If you know where the on button on the CATV box is, or how to tell someone to power cycle their router, you'll probably be the smartest guy there.

    One time, I was still on with their tech support person when the "how was your service call?" follow up call came in on the other line.

    Seriously, TWC is notorious for shitty customer service. If you go to work for them, I wouldn't tell anyone where you work.

    Ya know, I've had TW for Internet service for a couple years, and I was afraid of all I had heard about how bad they were, not to mention the company that was in the area before them, but I have been pleasantly surprised! I've only had to call them a couple times, and other than the one time, when I moved last year, it's been great, and even that time ended well. It seems they had my SSN wrong on the account, and that had everything all messed up to try to get things working after the stuff on their end went through. After dealing with a jerk, I called again and got a guy that helped me out, and verified everything else, and fixed the SSN (I think it's just the last 4).
