4.3L vortec swap time

 

Generally speaking, no. There are special exceptions but it takes some doing with HR.

Unsurprisingly, it's been a point of contention after we all worked from home for two years and were perfectly okay with it, then were told we were expected to be in the office 4 days a week again.

My Civic (2005, 5mt) has been occasionally lurching while driving. Thee feeling is similar to aggressive engine braking, like if I take my foot completely off the pedal and then quickly reapply throttle. It lurches 2-3 times in rapid succession, which is about how long it takes me to depress the clutch pedal. I'm not sure if disengaging the clutch actually stops the lurching, I just do it instinctively.

I've only noticed it happening in lower gears (2-3, maybe also 1 but it's hard to tell and I don't spend much time in 1). Usually in the 2500-3500 RPM range (ie, normal driving).

My best guess is that it's a fuel delivery issue, and I'm thinking I should replace the fuel pump/filter assembly.

Do you have any other suggestions for what might cause that?

The car idles smoothly and there's no check engine light.

Suddenly, a wild Wulf appears: "Hi, I'm a project."

 

Oh jeez.

 

Trade your jeep for a yota

 

Super tempting, but the last thing I need is another project I’ll never finish.

 

So just resolve to finish this one and you can have it. Follow me for more restoration tips.

 

It works!!!

Sometimes

 

the hydraulic cylinder on my office chair died after 3 years and I gambled on a $20 Amazon replacement. 20 minutes later and I have a working chair again. I upgraded from black to chrome at the same time

 

That's some baller shit right there.

 

hmmmmmmm

 

understandable

Did you also used to have an XJ a long time ago or am I confusing you with someone else?

 

Yes

 

You sir, sound like a person that needs parts cut for him

 

How are we still debating this lower ball joint crap. I wish pain and suffering on anyone still arguing against OEM/replacement.
