I feel your pain. My check engine light has been coming on intermittently since I got the car, what?, two months ago? This last time, my dad replaced the cam positioning sensor. The day after I got it back the light came back on again. ARGH!!! My sweetie took it in today to have the code read again. Fortunately it seemed to be a false read so I'm crossing my fingers. I really dont want to put any more money into it before the driving school at Cal Speedway at the end of the month. Actually I dont really want to put in any money in it for awhile... I'd like some time to let my bank account recover from all we've done so far!! LOL __________________ Lisa

OMFG... CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS... no one has it worse then me.. mine comes on all the time.. normally when i turn on the AC.. it gives code like "fuel injecter 3 is open" and things like 96 and 00067, which no one knows what it is... ehh.. . my AC blows fueses, but i think i just got that narrowed down.. like.. i found a thread on here about that.. the guy said he blew fuse 39, and so do i.. and he was having trouble with his clutch line shorting out.. =/ so .. fun fun.. i regret buying this car.. haha.. to expensive.. and its smashed on all sides, so its not that great to look at.. but it has a nice sound system..
wtf.. am i the only one that has this much trouble.. my last car was a 1994 ford asprie made by kia.. and that thing only need a muffiler one time, and everything was orignial with 160k miles.. haha.. | | | | | 09-17-2008, 04:39 AM | #1128 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Denver, Colorado Posts: 3,212 |
The PO did a bad job taking care of it.
Cindy where's this place at. I have never heard of it. If it comes on again i might take it in to get it looked at. I also have to fix my ASC+T and my heater as well. Dam and i was just starting to pay off my debt. | | | | | 09-17-2008, 03:10 PM | #1129 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: SW Florida Posts: 4,275 |

Yeah PO's can be crazy. We just discovered my pork chops are held together with silicone and attached with dry wall screws. What the heck?! There should be an application process to own a BMW. LOL __________________ Lisa

I thought you did, TBH, I hate that style front bumper, my mom has it on her 323ci except she doesn't have the trim inside of it painted, but at least you're not leaving little pieces of it all over the freeway now | | | | | 09-19-2008, 09:59 PM | #1133 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 |
my job sucks, I just got called in to work today (my day off) had to work for 3 hours, and in that time managed to crush my finger and split the tip of my fingernail in half right down the middle  then I washed my hands six times in a row with gojo and they're still dirty  | | | | | 09-19-2008, 10:05 PM | #1134 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: Wisconsin Posts: 1,895 |
I've started using the blue nitrile gloves when I know it's going to get greezy.
Also, a nail brush. __________________ ...

Seriously, invest in a pair of Mechanix gloves from advance/autozone/pep boys/ insert generic auto parts store here/etc. I love them, keep my hands clean and scar free! __________________ ~Dave~
