Ron, thanks for the info. It looks like it is ignition timing. Friend said he can fix it. I need spark plugs and stuff and friend said he'd look up all the parts for me and send me links. Said he can do the labor himself. I need engine filter. I used the Seafoam cleaner in my gas tank so that might help with some stuff, but I suppose engine filter change is due and I know the air filter must be filthy. Need new tires though and that is going to suck bc they went up in price again. Samsclub charges $80 to install 4 tires (at $20 a pop).
The "check engine" light is NOT on but the "check emissions" light is on. They didn't mention emissions in the diagnostic.
I have a code reader somewhere. I think it has to connect to a laptop. I don't know where to plug it in though-- will have to get friend to do it.
This is what the dealership gave me on the printout: (I'll have to take another pic with the prices-- the are insane).
I've seen some very sweet pit bulls as well as some very aggressive ones (bc of how they were raised/treated). There's one that has been going around killing neighborhood pets. I don't have any problems with pit bulls as a breed, but I have a problem with people who don't take good care of them or who teach them to be aggressive and then let them run loose. I love the brindled pattern on your doggy.
My guess is the flange may have cracked during installation/repair and they tried to patch it with nails rather than replace it. Initially I thought it was to keep the bolt from sliding back into the track, but its not in the right position for that.
Spicoli, I've seen some Wiki articles that pissed me off. Local guy in my area who passed away had a wiki entry & they listed him as a "philanthropist". He was one of the most greedy cutthroat s.o.b.s in town. Not a generous bone in his body. He owned half the commercial buildings in town. Total slumlord. Wouldn't fix leaking roofs, black mold, etc. Kept raising rent to the point it couldn't be afforded & then he got $ for business losses or something. Don't know if it was in tax deductions or insurance or both. He ran a flooring store & charged 2x the normal installation fee, didn't even install correctly, & made deals with distributors that they were only allowed to sell to him and not the one competitor in town. Drove the competitor (who is my good neighbor) out of business. Then there was the article about a former governor of Guam where they said he rescued a girl from a plane crash. He outright kidnapped her from the crash site, took her back to his mansion where he probably sexually abused her, and refused to release her. Didn't even let the poor kid get medical attention. I'm with you that the cop should get in major trouble for the drunk driving. I hate that (where I live) cops get more leniency. IMO, they should be held to higher standards bc they know the law and are supposed to enforce it. My father was a LEO and he felt the same way. I've mentioned before that cops in my area can (and have) literally get away with murder. I'm glad that its not like that everywhere though.
Eddie, I knew someone with a doberman who lived down the street from me. The dog loved kids and was very protective of them. The mother couldn't spank the kids with the dog around. So they would piss the mother off and run to the dog. If she tried to hit them, the dog would jump up and grab her hand (gently) and would put herself between mother and kids. One time at a gathering a man was throwing a toddler into the air and the toddler was screaming. Dog thought he was hurting her so she bit him.
Shan, that is very sad. Awhile back there was a teen hit by a deputy who I believe was speeding on a road. There were no crosswalks across the street & there was a public park. Kid was trying to get to the park when he got hit. There are a lot of children in that area. Kid lingered on life support for a month before dying & his organs were donated. Cop hasn't had any consequences but parents are pushing for crosswalks and reduced speed limit signs in the area.
Buzz, I LOVE The Entertainer song! I still remember when I was a kid there was a Fry Guys merry-go-round (could fit maybe 3 or 4 kids) and it played that song. While my parents were eating at McDonalds I was riding that thing over and over just to hear the song. I'm fond of Ragtime music.
Havasau, sounds like a good day.
I think I was asleep when midnight rolled around for new year's. Woke up to some gun shots and had to pee. Went back to bed after that and slept in the next day. Was not feeling well and my arm/shoulder were hurting like hell. Didn't get up until after dark (aside from bathroom trips). Gonna hope my friend can come over tomorrow to help with plumbing. Apparently he slept in late too. Said he didn't wake up until about 4pm. My brother went to work and did a 10 hour shift. He reported that a teenage girl who had been banned from the casino for having sex in the public restrooms TWICE was back & they let her in. She apparently used to hang out in the Kid's Quest area and started hitting on male workers when she was 12. At 13 they no longer let her in Kid's Quest as she was "too old". She started hitting on every male (and some females) in sight. She was at it again flirting with other customers and employees. She comes in with a lot of $$ and spends hours playing arcade games and putting moves on people. It's pretty sad.
I'm hoping I'll be feeling better tomorrow. Stomach doesn't feel good today. I'm also going to have to call the Honda place and ask for a refund/credit because they charged me for oil when they used the oil that I provided. I even put in the appointment write-up that I brought my own oil and filter but they still charged me for it.
