Wow, you know Mike in person, i bet your going to hear about that when he see´s you.lol

My suggestion would be to catch him at a store when you follow him and make him fell pain for taking your shit ... Then target his family and hit him where it hurts..Did you forget to take medicine or something this morning lol?

Gas mileage has never been really good 15-16 mpg but i have a lead foot... its 4.3

1998 chevy s10 4.3 v6

Just googled it Wide Open Throttle lol

Whats WOT?

Ok, thanks i will check tomorrow morning before work and get back to you.

I am guessing something to do with the a/c compressor clutch. If shutting off the a/c solves the problem, you should be close to a diagnosis. When was your last tune up? How many miles on the motor/truck (if different)?Any codes thrown? A/C on is in the map on the ECU and should be automatically adjusted for. If not a sensor could be stating the temp incorrectly, that the A/C is off or of course there could be something that causing it to happen.Very true. In that case you should be able to reset the computer and the car will run in "limp" or "learning" mode for like the first 50-100 miles until it recollects data. If resetting the computer temporarily solves the problem, I would start testing sensors with an ohm's meter, for acceptable tolerances. Depending on the car, may go into default right away IF there is a faulty sensor, and only collect data from key sensors.I hooked a multimeter up to it and a.ohm.meter, thanks Huh?Sorry about that, i meant i will hook a multimeter up to it and have someone that knows how to use an ohm meter check it out... i hooked a multimeter up about 6 months ago because my truck because was running rough, and it threw a random missfire code and the mechanic said that the mass airflow sensor or fuel filter were probably the problem. But it never felt like it was going to die on me until i got it out of the shop. Lol, i was working at the time i meant obd2 meter not multimeter lol

Will do what you recommended thanks... also will be taking a few automotive classes while im in college, not becauss i want to be an auto tech, but because i want to be able to work on my own shit

How many miles on the motor/truck (if different)?Truck has 131000 on it, changed the spark plugs, wires, and oil around 2K miles ago, mechanic shop put a new distributor on... soon i will have the transmission oil changed as well as the fuel filter, also gonna clean the mass airflow sensor

Anyone mechanically inclined have a suggestion to my previous post?

So, my truck died twice last month and a brought into a repair shop, 1st time they said.it was the anti theft wire that was corroded and fixed it, second time it died the same way and would not start up again, they told me this time it was a plate on the distributor that was spinning that wasnt suppose to move. Long story short i dont know any good mechanic shops around and after putting 500$ in my truck last month and having it die and not start up the same exact way, i no dont trust them either, in fact when got my truck back they left a vacuum line off. The problem im having now is when the A/C is on and the truck comes to a stop it feels like its going to die, also im not certain but it feels like my 1998 chevy s10 doesnt have as much power with the A/C on like it did before... I dont know a lot about automotive but I am thinking it might be a vacuum leak, or hose thats off... any ideas? Thanks

HBD!

Welcome to SSA!

Damn, thats one nice enclosure man.

Just trying to help. 4" coil, and 10" spider, is seen with the Ti basket.. on the norm. Just trying to help. I know there 4" coils but that wasnt what i meant, but thanks.

I count 8 not 4, use your fingers : look at all that Fi goodness. Yup definitely 8 there, mustve been tired.... lol

Damn they look nice 4 sp4 18s?

Any updates???

It was just a little well done Seriously you turned that into dog food.I always cook steaks well done usually too, but he deffinetly cooked it to farWhy? It is not for flavor or moisture lol. I wouldn't even do that to hamburger. Pointless to eat a steak like that.Bet you use steak sauce too, lol. No i dont really like steak sauce, but I guess it seems odd to me to have a steak pink, or bloody. I tried tri tip the other day at a resteraunt and i asked for medium rare which is something i usually do not do, still a little pink, but was too chewyIts not blood. The pink juice is water mixed with a protein that tints the water red.You are really taking a chance ordering rare at most average restaurants. Most people cooking at restaurants are not properly trained. Think about it, how much is the cook making again? Oh yeah, around nine bucks an hour if they are good.Yeah, the chance is likely that you will have to send it back because they cook the piss out of it anyways. As for safe, generally speaking you can eat it raw.I meant medium well not medium rare

If they arent garbage how?

And for you big ballers 730$ may not seem much, but to me while im in college and working at Burger King still, im am pissed off and fucking broke again. Take 1 step forward and 2 steps back. Ive been this forum almost everyday for the past two years and still have the same stereo in my truck with no bass lol.

I have a trust issue with other people working on my vehicles, I trust no body! X2!!!!!!The 1st time my brake lights would not shut off, even with my keys removed from the ignition the other 2X my truck died on me and would crank over but not start. First he said he soldered a corroded anti theft wire, and today i got my truck out and he said the Distributor needed replaced..cost me 730$ to put it in the shop this month and i do not trust him, or know of any other good mechanics. Just think it was odd that my truck died twice the same exact way and would not start twice in a month
