VDC, TCS, HAHAHA, whats that. Ever since I put that damn F-Con in, i lost VDC, TCS and antilock I am sure. I have slammed on my brakes and they have never locked up but there is always a first.

Sharif could not explain it to me and he couldnt figure out why it is doing that either.

Charles, Steering Wheel angle sensor, nissan is quoting $99 to reprogram the sensor is that something I can do myself?

Edit** I pulled the tape in my sterring column that is what is causing the problem.

So get this, my ac compressor went out. I drove to Tampa and picked one up from turbo toys. We were concerned that it had what he called shop dust in it and Jim from turbo toys said it would be fine. He tested the clutch in front of us and it worked fine. Notice I didnt say clutch and compressor. Well we drove back to orlando, pulled the turbo and ac compressor which took all of two days.

After getting everything back in the air would not get cold. I figured I would need to vacuum the lines. So I went to a local shop and low and behold a fuse was blown. They replaced the fuse and still no cold air. They told me that the compressor side of the ac unit was bad.

2 FCKUN DAYS UNDER A CAR AND I HAVE TO REPULL THE AC UNIT!!!!!!! I called him and told him that I had spend quite a lot of money having the unit installed only to find out that it was broke. He said reluctantly that he could send me a new one and would not charge me and that I didnt need to send back the other one.

Geee so generous, then he said that he was sorry about all the labor cost but there was nothing he could do about that because it was not his fault. NOT HIS FAULT, i realize that I bought a used item but it should have been tested before he sold it. You dont test one side of the unit when there are two working parts. NOT HIS FAULT, this is in every way his fault. If I had known the damn thing was broken I would never of installed it.

Now I am concerned, he is sending a new one. I dont want to go through this again, how do I test the unit to figure out if all its parts are working properly without installing the whole damn thing again? Any suggestions?


Ohh and to top it off, my heater is not blowing hot air now, it is moving air well but its not hot, any ideas?

If it's not blowing hot OR cold air, have you checked the thermostat? Maybe your sensor went bad?

The car is not overheating, but I dont know anything about a thermostat sensor.

I am thinking of painting my lips black, or getting them black chromed. Maya only chromes up to the face and water is getting in under the chrome and making it bubble a little. I eventually have to get the rims fixed.

Ok, did some research and it says that there should be a heater control valve that connects to a "warm" hose. Much like you have one for the cold side for the A/C. If the hose isn't warm - and you're not getting hot air, the valve could be stuck and it will need to be replaced.

read it in an article, but I can't find it.

Do a search for the valve, something should come up. Or if you have a complete car manual (not the one that comes with the car of course) you can look up the part. Any auto parts store should have one - or there should be one online.
