I SCREWED UP,MY STUPIDITY.. there,no one else needs to say it.
now, i drove all morn and parked,alls well. pulled my floor mat weathertech. cleaned it ,left it out to let carpet breath.
later, at nite, put it back and didnt notice i blocked the gas feed. would not start,twice, then started,reved high,dropped low,reved high again then low. i shut down and took another car to town.

thought about it,realized what i did with mat. pulled mat, started up, got rough idle, code p2176, dic says traction failed, reduced power ??

i did not move it. did not put in gear.

runs very rough, only other code,p 1516,??

2176 involves learning idle , but what now??

started a few times, same thing so far.

im angry at my stupidity,,,i will tin snip that floor mat to prevent a repeat.

i need advice,,will check it again in morn and get back.

oh then i did drive a short way,very rough but drives.

help

well...blush....i looked back at the last thing I did,
the air intake flashing i was experimenting with.

no real results because of COLD weather,,,but it was working ok ,,until that hurricane when it reved high and sucked it in too far and bent, blocking part air flow..

i pulled it all for review AND "REENGINEERING"!!

all is well,,,in the weee hrs

 

Try disconnecting the battery for an hour or so, then reconnect and try it,
Had a pick up that threw a emission code for a loose gas cap and this reset the computer and cleared the code, worth a try.

 

THAT would have never happened with the AirDoc!

 

but,,,but,,,just think,when i get this perfected i can sell it for, ah, $1.98!!

actually i may test it again in the spring, as the car people say,,"completly reengineered"!!

meantime im breathing easy,h3 is fine, no codes,no messin for a while.

 

drtom.....I know you're a fan of old cliches.....remember the one about 'you get what you pay for'?

 

yeah,,remember, i started at zero cost, so far thats what i got!! time will tell

 

Beat me to it Halo! Ghetto engin-eerin' will ghetto-u eventually!
