  1. We don't know why the lean code showed up, someone could have damaged a sensor or wiring with transmission removal.
  2. It's the only logical thing, if the TPS briefly loses signal or the PCM doesn't know where the throttle is, it could be throwing it in limp mode so the engine doesn't over rev and almost every vehicle fails in 3rd gear. It might not malfunction long enough to throw a code, heck it might even be in there, the BMWs could come in with faults all the time not related to anything, such as a one time low voltage fault, or some b.s. Like that. It is a Chrysler after all and Chryslers aren't exactly known for their stellar electronics.
  3. I still think it is the TPS or the wiring from the TPS to whatever module it goes too
  4. Way different than BMW was, we used technical assistance multiple times a week, but they disconnected all their phones and everything was through email. We used them mainly for parts authorization but still at least 3 or 4 times a month for assistance with diagnostics, mostly noises because we would report them when we found common ones and the solutions, but still for the occasional gremlin, especially when the F01/2 came out and cars wouldn't program after replacing a failed module. But it me personally I never had it escalate beyond a tech. hotline case, but other guys in the shop would have the engineer come at least once a month, I emailed him a few times but never had to actually have him show up
  5. I don't trust the Italians. Only minivan I would buy is a Honda or Toyota. Maybe a multi passenger ford transit connect depending on the interior configuration.
  6. At least they are far stretching to start offending and interfering with everyone. Unfortunately by the time everyone realizes this Obama is going to claim squatters rights to enact his 3rd term and the only way to fix this broken system will be violence. Fortunately though, I believe most FBI, ATF and military will be on the side that wants to fix this from the way our current corrupt government is running things.
  7. It's that kind of crap why I got out of the business. You do all the work, use breakout boxes, test the wires, document it with photos, and time stamps and well written descriptions, and the warranty admin is to much of a fat fucking pussy to submit as much time as you are claiming and the service manager is to busy sucking the dealership owners cock to give a rats ass about you or sticking up for you when some angry German fuck from up top comes in and starts screaming at you for replacing a steering shaft that didn't fix a steering noise, when the fucks at tech support wouldn't authorize the steering rack that the service buliten pointed to the cause of the noise which did fix the problem but then the service manager docs your pay 140 dollars to cover the part and labor all while you're 20 years old struggling to make ends meet after you just moved 6 hours away from home while trying to buy tools and pay rent and still have a life....then a customer starts screaming at you because you tell the service advisor a vehicle needs a wheel bearing to fix an abs issue because the tone ring has a dead spot in it, but it's an older vehicle with some corrosion and you also tell the service advisor the actual wheel speed sensor is probably going to get fucked upon disassembly to get the the wheel bearing but the service advisor choose to not tell the customer, and the proceeds to scratch out my writing on the WO that says, abs sensor may be damaged upon removal along with the price quote for it, and then the service manager questions you about it and blames you, then makes you pay for the part with another paycheck deduction, all while some fat fuck spills his soda, all down his dash ruins the NAV drive on the first car sold with the new NAV system, you replace it under warranty and can't figure out how to load the NAV maps back on and Tech support tells you to click such and such buttons through diagnostics and it doesn't fix but customer HAS to leave, turns out the manufacture hadn't shipped the downloadable DVDs yet, because they switched from q live read on a DVD to the maps being on the hard drive, then when the discs finally come in, or well suppose to come in the shop Forman hides them in his tool box and takes a few days off. Meanwhile a large sedan with a rain sensor cover falling off comes in and has a big ole crack in the windshield, well it's cold, we have radiant heat, I note the crack on the WO and tell the service advisor that the windshield needs replaced and the car back outside before I can put it on the lift or the windshield will be cracked 5 miles across, he starts yelling at me in front of the service manager to just do the work, I tell the service manager and he says just do the other work and they'll let me know if the customer wants a new windshield, well sure enough the combination of putting it on the lift and radiant heat crack that windshield all the way across, customer comes in flips out, says: IT WASNT CRACKED THAT MUCH THIS MORNING.... Service manager deducts shops insurance deductible out of my pay. this was just one of the places I worked at. Independant shop #1 - owner: " hey just say easy stuff needs replaced on such and such contracted vehicles, they never check. independent chain shop #2 -" we're going to pay you $7.00 to be an apprentice, we're not gong to pay you any commission though, and you have to walk all the way through the employee entrance of a huge Sears department store to go smoke or take your lunch break. Also you must take a 15 minute break every 2 hours. independent chain shop #3 - just put these cheap Chinese tires on this car, even though they are not authorized from corporate and the general manager was buying and selling cars through the business, using the actual consumer store credit card to float 0% interest for the year, buying parts at cost and not paying for any labor, and when one of us fixed his stupid little project cars he'd fudge the numbers and pay us hourly... He was a managing partner and stripped of all his stock in the company and forbidden to ever rebuy stock until he no longer was employed, so imagine that shady shit. finally the first dealer I ever worked at washing cars, it was snowing like a mother fuck and I refused to take a Porsche something with the widest fucking tires I've ever seen out of the wash bay, service manager starts screaming at me just to do it, and sure enough after I get out of the garage at about 3mph, car won't turn, brakes lock up and of course abs is of no help and I run right into a parked pickup truck with a plow on the front. I got fired immediately. I do not wish the vehicle service industry upon my worst enemy.
  8. My bet is still on the throttle position sensor

    CHL renewal

    Just got mine renewed. Medina. Had to wait a month for an appointment but I had the new one in 3 days.
  12. I do 2 child seats in a 4 door focus. One is rear facing one is a recaro forward facing. I have no issues. My wife is 5'6" and still has plenty of leg room in the front. We still take the focus more than we take her highlander.
  13. I had a p22 that would eat anything.
  14. i had it done in early January wife popped out our son in early november, just as she was starting to feel normal, bam. we were being careful too. spermicide, rubbers etc her on the pill. we both were seriously relieved. i still got a couple more weeks until i get my first sample tested.. mine cost all of my office copay of $20.00
  15. I met out Wednesday. Poured rain all night Tuesday so I wasn't worried about the salt. Gave it a quick wipe down and back up on stands.
  16. We are on a slab, upstairs has a layer of concrete above our ceiling to the upstairs neighbors floor. It's always on the HoA Facebook page to crack the cold water if the temp drops into low teens. Luckily water is built into our fees.
  17. Wife finally got the menstrual cycle thanks be to god, did not want anymore kids.
  18. New gun cabinent all put together and anchored to the wall using 4 lag bolts into the studs and 4 90# anchor bolts into the drywall. Wife wasn't to happy about the size but it got moved into our living roo, storage closet no longer in out bedroom closet so I get points for freeing up that space. Did install extra shelving because she uses it as her eBay staging closet too. overall pretty happy with it, definitely need to get a pistol rack for the Glock shelf especially once I sell the FN and pick up a full sized Glock.
  19. Your wife is preggerz?
  20. Bloody fuck. 2 new glocks. Swore I'd never own one but bought a 19 as a gift to myself just because and then sold my xd subcompact and came across a deal on a used 26 I couldn't pass up..... 500 for a pretty much unused one with a kydex iwb holster and 4 mags, with either pierce extensions on 2 and GAP floor plates on the other 2. now actively searching for a 17, 17L or 34.....,. Someone needs to buy my FN so I can fund that purchase.
