Jake,

How much for all that Diff stuff ?

 

Maybe someone can help Kristi and I out with this question... i noticed that after she got rear ended that when she starts the car it wants to die...

now recently since she has overheated and i fixed everything it is doing it but actually dieing now. i did unplug the battery for a day or so and dont know if that reset the ecu?

if you start the car and give it a little gas then it is fine..

when you start the car normal without gas then it will act like it is about to die and recover or it will actually die..

Since she got rear ended I think there might be an exhaust leak.. would an exhaust leak cause this???

any ideas fellow DFW'ers

 

So nice outside, got to wash the car. The sun made the water dry though and leave marks but whatever, my glass is at least really clean.

 

Does it idle better when it is out of gear? What about when you are driving and clutch-in, does it stall? Throwing any codes?

 

its an slowmatic(auto) and idles the same.. whenever it is in park.. it idles just fine as well.. its just that initial start when the RPM's drop to normal it dies or feels like its going to die but if you give it some gas then its fine and will stay idling fine..

 

Mine started doing the same thing this winter I was just gonna change the plugs mines a manual though.

 

The plugs are a pain in the A$$ to change in this car. Also I think it cost a pretty penny. If not then let me know so I can get my plugs done also.


Lets have a plug change out meet.

 

I can help with changing plugs out. A buddy and I changed his out in about 45 minutes, he had an 03.

I just found out that it might snow on Sunday. I barely brought a long sleeve shirt.

 

I did a DIY for the spark plugs change a while back.

In Reno, NV.

 

LOL...Im kinda embarrased to say...about 1500 bucks...well worth the pretty penny for lifetime diff... That thing is BAD ***...

Thanks for the props guys...it wasnt hard AT ALL..

 

^ Yeah, diff swap on the car isnt hard at all............its just a pain cause its heavy, fluid smells......stuff like that....but very easy.

^^^now I see where the 4X4 thing comes from, lol. People used to tell me the same thing when I had my Integra I just didnt want to lower it cause I liked the way it drove and because Dallas roads suck. Overall it looks really nice.

 

haha thanks

see I think thats the only reason why I can make fun of Chris <3 Mine sits way higher than his ever has and he know thats a fact

lol

 

Check the evap canister. It is in the right corner of the rear bumper. if it is hooked up backwards you can have vacum issues with your idle.

 

Great choice on the Quafie..My nismo lsd was so loud that I had to get rid of it. People at work thought my car was broken everytime I pulled into the parking lot. Also it killed my turn in. What is you lock set to? mine was 80%.

 

nice pics kristi

Just got back from Miami guys... GEEZ I CAN"T WAIT TO GO BACK!!!!!
I will post up pics after work. Lambos, and Ferrari were EVERYWHERE it was nuts...

 

That's not bad Jake....performance is worth it. I'll have to see how it does for you in the summer time.




I luv 4X4's , guess thats why I have a truck also.

My car will have to stay where its at until I find the right suspension.
