Going up Carlos Bee Blvd. when you’re misfiring on all cylinders isn’t fun.

 

I found out the reason why my tacoma was intermitently running like shit and didnt register misfire codes

The knock sensor wiring harness' insulation was gone and had corroded to shit

Either bunkbeds or a section in the garage as a makeshift bedroom

Need a roommate?

 

Don't need one, would want a kickass one though and I'll be renting a house out of state once I pay the 5.0 off

 

New MAF sensor. Guess we’ll being doing injectors next

 

Bummer, on the throttle body, when removed from intake and butterfly is fully closed, does it seal off all the way? With age and miles these are getting to, more and more folks are seeing that butterfly not sealing up like it should when it's closed. They'll see way too much ought shining through butterfly edge where it should seal off against throttle body wall. And that'll give a symptom similar to a vac leak, I think. The smoke machine likely wouldn't have shown this though.
Did you get it smoked yet?
Also injectors can definitely cause a skip or hiccup or blip like you're describing as well.

 

Funniest shit I've seen in a long time

Yay lovebugs

 

I’ll check the throttle body as well. Haven’t had a chance to get to my buddies shop to smoke it

 

They never are suppose to seal 100%

 

What’s the best way to clean it on the truck???

 

Carb cleaner and a shop towel

get a heavy rock to hold open the throttle

Than get a catch can and clean the pcv regularly also delete the egr so your engine doesn't breath its own shit

 

Coming down Carlos Bee in a 67 Firebird with drum brakes heating up and the pedal going hard as a rock isn't fun. Parking brake towards the bottom of the hill to stop in time lol

 

So this Shepherd was givien to my dad by a dude that had to move from his house to a apartment. He told us his name is “Rusty”. He’s giving us a little trouble staying in the pin tho. Now hes taken up to me... so now my dads like “he’s yours now, you’ve gotta figure this stuff out”
Great. The first thing I did was get a reflective collar for his dark ass

 

Can’t believe how steep it is. I feel like I’m coming down the grapevine on I5 when I’m on it. They should’ve graded it like Harder Rd.

 

That is a very pretty dog. First dog?


There are plenty of people here who can give you some pointers on training

 

It's really easy to take the throttle body off to clean, was one of the first DIY maintenance things I did. Had it off, cleaned and back on in a little over an hour. You'll get it much cleaner by taking it off and scrubbing it with TB cleaner and a tooth brush.

 

You put new spark plugs and wires in when you installed your supercharger?
