Does it do this regardless of the amount of gas in the tank? Is the truck running either hot or cold? When was the last time you had the fuel filter changed?
Taken from a company that provides the service: You can read way more about it here: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.wearcheck.com/info/about_introduction.asp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.wearcheck.com/info/about_introduction.asp</a> It's a bit geeky, but if you're into doing REAL preventative maintenance, this is an excellent tool to catch problems very early on in the process, usually well before they present as something noticeable. At $20 per test, it's worth it, considering I've got over $40k into the engine of my race car. Hell, I spend over $100 per weekend on brake fluid. I've already caught a failing rod as a result, and was able to rip the engine apart and rebuild it before it blew up.
It sounds like a bad Engine Coolant Temp Sensor. The car thinks it is still cold when it is warm, which floods the engine. Doesn't necessarily throw a code, either.
With a turbocharged car running speed-density, is it better to recirculate air or purge to atmosphere?
What are you using the car for, what part of the world do you live in (curious regarding temps & elevation)?
I'm trying to think of a case where recirculating would be beneficial... I'd think you would almost always want cooler air, not recirculated. Except maybe at startup/warmup.
Racing in the winter, if you're introducing an outside cooling agent, trying to maintain a certain (high) boost level...
*sigh* I'm more and more certain it's a sensor problem. New development is that my truck is now bucking when I accelerate with a cold engine on warm days. It feels pretty much like it would if I was shifting and popping the clutch. Last time it did this, it was the fuel solenoid sensor (I might be writing that out wrong). Essentially the sensor got screwed up an thought the engine was running lean, so it told the computer to up the fuel. Which is why the fuel mileage was horrible and why it was running so rough. My questions: 1. Any way I can get this diagnosed before the engine codes? Last time I had to wait until the O2 sensors blew. 2. Why would I have lost two of these sensors in less than a year and a half?
Most the time i have seen an O2 sensor go, you can smell it in the exhaust because it is just pumping fuel into the engine. There are different quality brand(i pimp NGK at work, for 02 sensors, BWD for engine sensors), and sometimes you just get a bad ones in any brand. Sender - Engine Temperature - With Gauge Sender - Engine Temperature - With Light Sender - Oil Pressure - With Gauge Sensor - ABS Speed Sensor - Air Charge Temperature Sensor - Coolant Temperature Sensor - Crankshaft Sensor - EGR Pressure Feedback Sensor - Oxygen / Air/Fuel Ratio (O2) Sensor - Speed Sensor - Throttle Position Those are the sensor i will normally sell, and fuel solenoid sensor, do you mean Throttle Position? I have had a few that just dont seem to work, i remember correctly it took 2 or 3 for a Intrepid cabby last year.
Lame list. I hate askmen. High dollar super cars aren't manly. They're beautiful, elegant, and worthy of lusting after but certainly not manly. To make the top 10 a vehicle must be either 4wd, have massive displacement and total disregard for mpg or both. While the FJ40 is an awesome vehicle I think a Ford Bronco w/ 351W motor is "manlier". Why the fuck is a Dodge Ram on there? Yes one package has the Viper motor but so what. Swap that pos out for an F-450SD. That fucker can pull a house off it's foundation without spinning the tires.
Where the fuck is this on the list? When I drove this thing it was a man magnet. Boys ate this shit up.
Terrible news for the summer season: Tail of the Dragon is closed due to rock slides and not scheduled to be reopened until July 31. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.tailofthedragon.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.tailofthedragon.com/</a>
Yeah it's not the most manly car out there but damn is it ever fun to drive (my uncles, not mine). Same model but a darker red:
That Camaro is way too modern. Nothing is more manly (or frustrating) than tuning a Quadrajet carburetor:
Spring is here and I think one of the most enjoyable things to do with a vehicle (or woman) is to take the top down/off. Semi-naked Jeepin (doors are still on) today.
