Strictly Street

Her hair color changes frequently.

Not Dani, shorter hair.

Which one was Liz, the blonde behind the bar? She was distracting...

Nah, that was Dani. Yep very distracting.

In a very nice way too.

303?

Hmm. I think I missed a decimal point here.

Opps! I was working in octal, duh!

My happy memories of dealing with Rep

by Casper

Rep for you Sir!

um, nevermind.

It's no secret that Obama likes ACORN. They supported him all through the election.

so is that all of them this year? it's always fun when the parking lot has room for a lil fun. can't wait till next year when it all fires up again.

2 more left yet.

This is some of the change he was talking about.

Don't say he didn't tell/warn you

ummm, reality check.......

The scooter looked like a lot of fun.

Doing those tight turns and draggin' stands or floorboards was something!

Looks good!

There still is some good riding weather left this season.

I can't break the chain.

Been there at every one so far this year I think.

(Except Monsoon Wed)

Supposed to be 51 @ 10PM tonight.

So a long sleeved shirt and a riding jacket ought to do just fine.

1. Sell it

2. Figure out what I want next

3. Buy the perfect one

4. Park it in the living room

All except for the parking bit can't make that one fly.

Some ideas for you all.

The 'Blue Screen of Death"

Ummm...

OH!! The humanity!

I'm not creative so I'll probably just rummage through my box of costumes: angel, ninja turtle, majorette, 80's person, sheep, others I can't remember....

Yes, that's right, 3 years ago i went as a sheep... I would fear for my safety if I rocked that costume around a few of the people on this board.

:lol::lol:

Lucky you survived!

Greetings

Hmm... hottie cakes

nom, nom, nom...

“You meet the nicest people on a Honda,”

Honda’s revolutionary advertising slogan, “You meet the nicest people on a Honda,” shattered the myth that bikes were only for tough guys and rebels. Single-handedly, Honda had made motorcycling appealing to everyone. By 1965, Honda was selling well over a quarter-million motorcycles annually. In 1968, Honda created a bike for the baby boomer youth market, the z50ra. Although similar in power to the z50, the qa50 was an excellent beginner’s bike, utilizing a two-speed automatic transmission. Honda made four models of the qa50 over a four year period. The example you see here is the “k0.” The fenders and fuel tank were offered in three matching colors–gypsy yellow, sprout green, and scarlet red. “From mighty to mini, Honda has it all.”

The world needs more booze-crazed, pig-riding goblins.

Just in time for Halloween too!

Been there, done that.

It was a great day to ride. I feel better already!

Well had my first spill in about 15 years Thursday night leaving thortons gas station on hamilton road , heading north with vrod looked away for just a second and looked back up and vrod took a quick right turn and i couldnt get the brakes on fast enough . I hit the brakes and looking down to my surprise was gravel ( fucking sucks ) anyways i slid into the back of him and tried to get the bike down before i hit him , thought i did but dont remeber hitting him . took of his plate holder and a turn signal ( glad it wasnt worse ) Helmet really saved me hit head first and shoulder but i think if it wasnt for the helmet i would be fucked . Anyway just wanted to say thanks to the guys who helped me out in a bind ( wheezle , vrod , yota ) and thanks for the check up calls from others . Ill be down for a while (pain pills are fun ) but all is good and ill see ya all soon

P.S. wear your gear

Glad you is all good.

Heal fast brother!

i got an ounce of coke for 700 bucks. going for 1000-1200 typically up north.

Hookers and blow 1/2 price tomorrow!

:lol:

Does the engine crank for a while before starting? If so' date=' that's a symptom of a failed(ing) crank sensor. However, this will typically not cause the issues your are experiencing. I've read the thread, again, and am fairly confident you have a failed Throttle Position Sensor.

I don't want to hear anybody say anything about the computer not tossing the code for a TPS. We're talking about a 13 year old Chevy diagnostic system... it is what it is.[/quote']

Nope, it starts right up 2-3 turns of the motor if that.

I had a bad camshaft sensor in another car it acted kinda like this.

Cost a bundle to get that fixed (motor tear down) but after that every time the car acted funny, replace the ECM ($60) and all was well.

Which is why I suspected the ECM (Now known as a PCM) in the first place.

But the code came up as a crankshaft sensor.

What if the code is right and it is the crankshaft sensor?

Would that cause it to misfire, skip a beat while running?

I'm thinking at this point the shifting problem is a symptom of the real fault.

If you loose power then the tranny should shift down.

I think your right.

By 10PM its going to be a frosty 55 degrees.

If nobody else is going to show I think I'll just stay local.

Well, maybe next week.

So I took the car out in the rain last nigh to see what would happen.

On the way to a friends house it acted up only once.

On the way back, well that was another story.

Starts right up, idles fine.

Popped it in gear and down the road.

As long as the RPM's are low it seems to run ok.

But once rolling, as it starts to upshift through the gears is when it gets weird.

The engine seems to stop for a half second.

Again and again. Floor it and the engine roars to life and accelerates away, then it chokes/stops/whatever.

Tried keeping it in a lower gear, no help.

Tried going real easy on the gas, no help.

once it starts doing its thing the only thing to do is either way more gas or way less.

Then going back to the same throttle position gets the same result.

If this was an older car I'd be looking at the timing advance or something like that.

It's almost like it wants to pop/backfire through the carb if it had one.

Maybe a fuel filter, idk.

Hmm... I'll have to look and see if I can find that little item.

Injector system, wonder where the filter is on that? By the tank?

I'm thinking I'm going to have to hit a local shop for this one.

Any idea how much the average shop would charge to change out the 24x sensor?

I don't think it will make it to Johnstown without me shooting it and pushing it over a hill on the way.

Very frustrating to drive. Acts ok, then, well you get the idea.

I'm out.

Was up for this, I like Moose's place.

Got an invite to turkey and fixings Thanksgiving rehearsal dinner.

Not a wedding just practicing gluttony in advance, with gravy.

nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom

I know, I'll have to pay...

As if!

That's a possibility, not a definite. A good place to start checking! Anything further and I really don't want to start guessing.

OK, I looked all over the MAS to throttle body connection.

Couldn't find a vacuum leak. If there is one I don't know how to find it.

Everything looks tight and there aren't any wear spots on anything I could see.

I still can't see that sensor but I can see where it is that I can't see so that is prolly where it is hiding. No way I can get to it with out pulling the balancer. Don't have the tools for that job.

Starting to look like this one is beyond my abilities to fix. Sux!
