Lexus of reno does the same and they fill the tank up! :shock:
|
I think the mechanic farted in my seat at lithia last time...does that count :lol:
Anyway, It's in at Lithia again today to get the tumbler valve sensor thing replaced... Also, I discovered I had a very low tire this morning...lovely,,,a sharp screw appears to be the culprit...I aired it back up for now...seems to be a very slow leak. |

So it's almost the end of day 2...I don't know if I'll have it back today or not :cry: ...They didn't realized how involved the change was..
Anyway, is it a bad sign that I had a dream last night about my car falling off of a mechanic rack and getting totalled? It can;t be good... Anyway...Looks like another day in the Dodge...(hit it!). |
DAY 3...My pit crew is letting me down :x The car is all put back together, and upon firing it up, they said there is a manifold pressure leak, caused by a damaged injector seal. I guess the mechanic fuxored it up at some point in the job.
So, New injector seals are on the way, as they have none in stock...I'm told I should have the car tomorrow. I'm not upset at all, I'd prefer to have my car back, but I don;t mine putting miles on my sister's truck instead of mine. Maybe I'll never get my car back.who knows. 8) |
Ugh... all this for what's probably and unecessary repair? I hope they're not "ungifting" your motor. That's a lot of tear-down and build-up for guys that never work on STis.
..yet another reason I'm glad my warranty's expired. I can choose my mechanics. |
Guess what Matt. I was in Lithia getting my oil changed, and I asked about your car. Ray said your car is being put back together right now, and you can pick it up today!! :D
He's even ordering you a new strut. Happy day!!! |

Ray is the only reason I haven;t gone insanely crazy over this. He is a good guy. |

Oh and Mike. a resistor and a bung plug (heheh) would be a better solution for your car. I know I'm cooking my non-functioning EGT to hell bcause I never bothered to just put a plug in there. :( |
Ray has been great ever since he started there. (He had the brake rotors turned for me under warranty because I 'must've been riding the brakes coming down Spooner'.)
Hey Matt - are they replacing a strut because your car fell off the lift? :lol: |

On a side bar. My STi is very angry. It hates the cold. I started it up this morning and the engine was idling between 500-2000 rpms it took five minutes before it finally started running normal. The springs are packed with ice, from a little snow adventure on Saturday night. It's so cold they can't thaw, and I can't park the car in a sunny location today. Gehrrr. |

Tumbler Valve...I'm now an expert.

My car was a bit hard to start this morning too, and that was at almost 9. It just takes a few extra cranks to kick it over when everything's so cold. The idle thing is weird. Is it fluctuating or just starting high and falling slowly? It will take a while to get the coolant temp up enough that the IAC isn't raising idle anymore.

Whatever it is, you know it is going to be super cold the next day or two, so get it to the mechanics so they can figure it out before it warms up!

Kenny Blankenships most painful elimination of the day is Weasel 22..his untimely response and even faster crash and burn was most unpleasant..tho there was a STi there today that resembled his car...im currently heading to lens crafters to have my glasses checked..........................
