    CEL PO171 & PO174 too lean banks 1 & 2.

    Wow, that's from one extreme to the other... On a related note, I have one of the old SCT tuners, and recently flashed back to stock in preparation for my emissions check (doesn't seem to work with the alternate program installed). Since then, I have started getting a CEL indicating a...

    A/C Stops blowing during acceleration

    My ST ('01 model) has recently picked up a rather annoying habit. Whenever I put the truck into moderate to hard acceleration, the A/C unit stops blowing normally and switches to blowing through the defrost ports. Under moderate acceleration, it just slows down through the main vents (50/50...

    Evel Knievel, dead....

    They had an article on him in the last Maxim magazine. In it he's talking about his failing health, and says something to the effect of "this may be the last interview I give."

    Evaporative System not ready?

    I guess it could be the reader... I didn't consider that. I went to an emissions check place and spoke with the clerk there. he told me that the state (Georgia) will allow one set of sensors to be "not ready", but if any more than that aren't ready, it will fail. And of course, if there are...

    Evaporative System not ready?

    I have to have my emissions checked before I can get my tag. From previous experience, I know that the program from my XCal will not pass emissions. In the past I have had to return the programming to the stock program, disconnect the battery to reset the computer, and then drive around a...

    OT: Cell Phone for Teen Son - Opinions

    I would personally go with the prepaid option, at least for a first phone. As you said, a decent one is very cheap nowadays, and the service isn't too terribly expensive. Just make sure that you set some ground rules for the use of it: hours he can use it, no using while driving (when he gets...

    Only thing that would have made it better is changing the next to the last line to "Call BART at..."

    SIRIUS satelite radio

    If I remember correctly, there is a channel you can tune to (possibly 000) and it will display the s/n

    Explain this!!!

    I'm a police officer in a city within the same county where Benoit lived (he actually used to live in our city). The details of this story are SICK. This is actually the first I've heard about the posting to his biography, though...most of what I've heard was second hand stuff originating from...

    WTB OEM Front Tag Mount

    I wanted one for my '01 when I bought it, so I went to the dealer. Don't remember exactly how much it was, but it was fairly cheap, and they even put it on for free (it's just two plastic pop rivets)

    Left lights on, killed battery, got the battery charger that you plug into cig lighter. radio no wrk

    Like they said, check the manual. Usually there's some reset procedure like turning it off, holding a button or combination of buttons while you turn it back on. You may also want to try disconnecting the battery for 10-15 minutes, thereby removing all power from the radio, then reconnecting...

    O.T.: Massive Ice Shelf Breaks off in Arctic

    Wow.... Too bad that global warming, even if true, couldn't be a natural occurrence. I mean, we never would have gotten out of that last ice age without all those factories spewing smoke and CFC's...

    Any tankless hot water heater users ?

    Lil Red, they are supposedly much more efficient that tank heaters. It makes sense when you think about it... while it may take a little more energy to heat the water that fast, you only heat the water when you need it, and then only the amount you need. If you think about it, you probably...

    Motorcycle riders...

    While you may still get injuries from the secondary impact, it's that primary impact with the other vehicle that usually does the killing and/or the majority of the injuring. Just like with airbags in passenger cars, you'll still get injured, it's just a matter of minimizing the injuries.

    fantastic machine

    TJR, I was going to send money to that Nigerian Prince, but didn't have the initial $1000. Thankfully, Bill Gates offered to send me a thousand $$$ as long as I forwarded an email to at least 25 people, thanks to a wonderful new email tracking program. I expect to be as rich as you soon....

    Help!! I need some heat :(

    Also, just as an aside, make sure you're not on "Max A/C". I've turned mine all the way to heat before with it on Max, and 15 minutes later it was still blowing cold. As soon as I moved it off max a/c, instant heat.

    unexpected scare

    I have the XCal (not XCal2) with a 87 octane performance program. I tried leaving the program activated the first time I went for my emisisons inspection after getting it, but it failed (computer showed "not ready", even though the program had been active for months.) I also first noticed the...

    It must be for real! After all, it even says in the message that it's a legitmate transaction!
