disingenuous? Possibly. Or (more likely) you didn't read the warranty. Neither have I but, most likely you have "bumper to bumper" coverage for 3 years or 36k. After that you have coverage of moving and lubercated parts contained in the engine, drivetrain and transmission, aside from fed emission protection.
The above requires you to provide and doccument required major and minor service intervals on all systems at your cost.
"That $60 STILL seems ridiculous, considering the minuscule amount of work actually performed, but you're paying for the knowledge."
While it might sound expensive, so is the scan tool. It's about 2k and requires additional updated proms to keep it updated. And yes, like everyting else knowledge and experience costs:-)

"I occasionally experience 1 or 2 hours where I cannot receive broadcast TV, FM radio, or even weather alert radio broadcasts. During the event I cannot receive broadcasts at my home or FM radio in my car within a mile or so"
You are being targeted. I'd be seriously concerned!
The bidding process is set up so they can test the markets pricing. The IPO pricing will be determined by the offers and the underwriters. not by the bidding process. In order to get allocated IPO shares, you need to place a bid. I beleive what they are trying to do is price it as to what the market thinks its worth BEFORE offering it on the exchange. Their hope is to stop the "feeding frenzy" that has happened in the past.

"Keep the engine tuned up, and when it needs rings and bearings, do it."
99% of the US consumer will discard a domestic product when it needs rings or bearings. Mainly due to the fact the product is crap. I've never see stateside maintance records showing any top end work, as it's not considered maintance. Driving a 100k domestic sled is a crap shoot, gime a discarded Saab (pre 95), Volvo, Benz, or BMW.
"Like the poster said, cars are worth a lot in parts. Thats why you see Push Pull Drag in deals where they will give you 1000 bucks for a POS, it's worth it to them."
Only if they've increased the retail selling price by X is your sled worth X to a dealer in a retail sale. Your trade is worthless on the retail side. The dealer might make a hundred or so on the liquidation of your iron but mostly expenses eat up any profit in trading your tired old wheels. Push, pull or tow sales are as good a deal as a rebate on a new car.
"Also, most channels thru my standard antenna don't come in very well. I think 2 of the 6 channels I get are clear. I wonder if this will have the same problems for those of us stuck out in the country?"
Acquiring the signal will be the same as normal TV. Difference is that digital signal has some type of FEC. Once you acquire the datastream you will have decent picture. Problem will be keeping the stream (with weak signal). Should look the same as a net stream that's congested.

About 10 years ago a friend of mine gave me a USD $20. Not a debt payment, just a test. Told me, look at it. Not thinking he was playing arround, I took a closer look. He handed me a nice reproduction. A Photoshop scanned job printed on a new (at that time) Epson 300 at an amazing 300dpi!
My friend (who had no financial need to produce currency) decided on a mission, to knock off a bill. He shopped the paper, practiced justification time after time. The rejects hit the trash.
Forward 2 months and there's a knock on the door. The secret service is here to ask questions. Primary question, "do you have any kids".. he drops his pants (rightfully).. "I'm the kid"
Someone at the landfill saw the rejects and made the call. The SS sees my friend is just an idiot. The tell him they don't know what they will do, possibly take his computer/printer, possibly nothing. They tell him if they ever see the serial number in circulation, they'll be back.
He calls me in a panic and asks if I can talk. I ask about what, he's not willing to talk.
He destroys the joke he gave me and that's the last we ever heard.
A blind monkey can feel the difference. Currency bond is EMBOSED. I've never see a couterfiet embosed note. Possibly asking workers to acheive what a monkey can do is asking too much!

hummm. I thought mechanical injection used a mechanical fuel pump (usualy powered by a belt from a cam) not a fuel distributer fed by an electric fuel pump. Both systems CIS and mechanical injection use injectors that have no moving parts.
The only thing the lamda signal did on CIS systems was to trigger a frequency valve to enrich or lean the distributer after the thermo-time switch did it's thing..
wha do i know:-)

Not the ECU. Here's the situation: You wreck your later then 02 vehicle. The insurance company pulls the body computer and acquires the last 20 seconds of data before the crash sensors signal airbag deployment. Data like throttle possition, brake possition, rpm, speed are recorded and available for use. All this data for authorities to grep without your permission.
That's the real fix necessary!

"5000's (82-88) used mechanical fuel injection." They did not! They use CIS sometimes known as K-lambda or K-Jetronic.
Not being a domestic type guy, only vehicles I know running mechanical injection were 911's from 69(ish) to 73. 73.5 911's were CIS.

How bout it! I've had a number of 911's (nothing later then 89). One day a friend of mine brought his friend who cashed his options in (200k or so just out of college.. dot com daiz) and bought some hockey players Calaway viper (sp). He proceded to take me for a ride. On the last straight home he jumped on the throttle. The vehicle violently lifted, I noticed the steering get way toooo loose and we were rocketing above 100mph real quick.
I was nervous. Watkins Glenn in my 930 at 120mph was relaxing and under control. A viper above 90 was scarry shit.
The end of the ride he said "I bet you never felt that in a Porsche!". I just grinned.. some people never get it.

The Stoichiometric Fuel/Air Mixture

· Score: 2, Interesting
The reason for electronic engine control is basicaly to reach The Stoichiometric Fuel/Air Mixture at all running conditions. ECU maps are basically designed to the lowest level in consumer products. Remaping the ECU is a time consuming procedure. One can't just make power in all conditions by remapping. 14.7 to one mixture of oxidizer to fuel will produce the most efficient and powerfull use of fuel. Consumer ECU's trade off getting the closest to this mixture for all conditions, cold start, lugging the motor, running it hard, lower octane fuels, the list goes on and on.
Haltech has a great system for designers. Install the system, acquire the data from all sensors (o2, map, temp, tdc, rmp, throttle pos, at a min) in real world driving and spend countless hours perfecting proper setup. Great for an engineer and a mess for joe sixpack.
"if you're really serious about wireless you should get your fcc technition class lisence, it allows you to run your way at up to 1500 watts, or something rediclus, way better than screwing around with fancy antennas for just a hundred miliwatts or so."
If I remember correctly, even a novice class amatuer radio license will allow access to allocted spectrum above 50mhz. Note the allocated spectrum. I'm fairly sure one cant use the spectrum allocated to wifi with more then the legal amount of power. Also, when one runs and unattened station, only licensed amatuers can legaly use it (without a control operator).
False information doesn't matter. Account X buys item Y, Z, B and A. Account X does this M times at this time of day, spends x on this day, spends y on this day and time..ect. By allowing them to open an account for a database you use, you have been profiled. You have provided information without compensation. JUST SAY NO. USE THE STORE ACCOUNT. Be an asshole. Make everyone wait till they provide you with the posted discount.

Incorrect. Depending upon the vehicle and evap leak tripped CEL resets itself after 8 starts of the vehicle. Not all CEL warnings require hard resets.
