Drove up north, picked up my $100 cam sensor, drove to the car, installed it....nothing....

CEL has been giving a cam sensor error so...the wire or connector running to it?

Went home, grabbed my neighbor, his giant turbo diesel, his huge trailer and his winch....trailered my car home. Time to test some electronics tonight

Turned out to be the timing belt. It didn't break, but all the teeth around the crank gear wore off and the belt wouldn't turn. A few hours later and we completed a timing belt change in the driveway! The process also fixed my CEL, I assume it was cause by a bad ground

 

[Cleverfrog]

Great timing on that fix.

I assume green is the color for pun as pink is the color for sarcasm. It was horrible timing. Took 8 days to fix. Mostly due to bad scheduling and lack of time

Tore open my spare Intake Manifold. removed VTCS, started cleaned, prepped, then painted it black!

Are Puns truly clever?

Made me force air out my nose faster than usual when I read it. It was clever!
Glad your car is okay! Did you do the timing belt change yourself?

 

[JDM_Pro5]

Did it in my neighbor's driveway. Pretty simple. Parts cost about $40. I gave him some money for helping per usual. He also rebuilt my transmission the second time I broke the 1st-3rd shifting fork. I managed to snag a parts transmission for $50 (connecting rod was broken). He cracked it open, got the part I needed, dropped mine, rebuilt it with the new part, installed the trans, and had me running on in a 2 day span (that includes breakdown, finding a trans, and work). It's nice having him around.

Some pics of the dip. Looks light bronze in the dark and gold in the sunlight, two colors that looks great with midnight blue. Overall, very happy!

 

[Cleverfrog]

Not working on my laptop. I wanna see those so bad!

 

[bikingpro5]

weird they all work for me

 

[JDM_Pro5]

Can everyone see them now? For the mobile app, I had to click on the post itself and that pulled them up. I apologize for pics. Work blocked photobucket and I had been using Minus, well, work just blocked minus. Now I have no way of accessing photos to upload them other than attaching them to a post

 

[esnave09]

Now they work! Looks good!

 

[Flav]

I can see clearly now (I bet a handful of you just sang that in your head)

Looks good! The dip turned out damn well on your rims!
