What have you done to your P5 today?

[ScratchNSniff]

sorry, i'm not trying to give you false hopes of knowledge here, i dont know much

You have no clue...I know absolutely nothing about engines...I can get everything else apart besides the engine...I couldn't figure out how to get the plugs out for about 30 minutes until I tried my long socket...

Did u check the gap on the plugs before u installed them?

 

[ScratchNSniff]

Yep...checked the gap according to what the book at the car parts place said it was suppossed to be and it was correct...

Got my RPF1 center caps sometime over the week but I just got back from a business trip today. Installed them and my wheels are now complete! The only negative thing is that the rear center caps don't go all the way down. They're still very tight but the rear hub prevents them from going all the way down. Next step is an alignment on Saturday.

About to clean the EGR valve...no clue what I am doing, but I just read the how to in the how to section and figure it is something I should try with the idle being so low...

 

[HKPRO5]

any good suggestions on spark plugs?

NGK ftw

 

[ScratchNSniff]

WOW...Thanks to those that PM'd...it ended up being the EGR valve...the hole on the left was pretty much clogged almost halfway across the hole...worked WONDERS though...I have had an idling problem for quite some time now, but only yesterday did it cause the car to completely shut off and not start again...

Once again thanks to those that helped me out with this...

[TWISFM]

^must be nice, houston weather sucks..

 

[AlturredMP5]

i ordered about $2k worth of stuff for the P5 today!!! hope it comes in soon. i know one thing wont come in til at least late next week, but thats ok.

i washed it too. dont really know why though. theyre buildin some new buildings off the road i drive to work on everyday, and the road is covered in a layer of dirt. if its dry, it settles as dust on the car. if its wet, it settles as mud all over the car. nasty stuff. keepin it clean is a full time job.

So...you gonna tell us what you got...
