    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Why? Not that I too wouldn't like to fly recreationally, but still always wonder what the use is.I am curios on what the reserve for this is,has been sitting in the hanger for 25 years.Not really an answer. Does that plane have a sink? Is it your new laundry machine?

    4g's is a lot to drop; however, go visit. Worst case beat the shit out of one of their cars.

    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 Have you checked the catalytic converter? I have seen them start plugging up and cause weird issues. I have seen older vehicles start and run normal, but at highway speeds make you think something in drive train going bad. Exactly why mine are about to go BYE

    If it is his sig it is a 98 S10 so either 2.8 or 4.3 no? No idea how smart GM's ECU in that era. Actually seems idiotic even today how little information they keep considering, but for me since it is free to check I'd first want to see if it faulted out on ANY of the sensors or had strange readings it logged. Over advanced timing would of course show up but retarded not. Is your gas mileage significantly shittier than usual?

    That'd be retarded but possible

    If it is running that bad it should throw a fault. That would be the first thing I'd want to know.

But it never felt like it was going to die on me until i got it out of the shop. NEITHER of those meters will tell you anything. You need a full fledged ECU code reader....

    Your calculations seemed rather small. 600 is large for stock, but it isn't gargantuan...

    Be good to also check and see what the values of the computer says are the variables. Could let you know if something is off. Oreilly Auto Parts and such loan a code reader to you for free to check.

    That is a seriously wacko description.

    I guess what I am saying is that I'd start with a long term HP goal before doing anything other than troubleshooting. It may drastically change what is of value right now.

    And J, your carb isn't too small. Your heads are. Build them before doing anything with the carb. Might be that an intake away from the carb being too small. Thinking about a fuellie, the equation has to include Volumetric Efficiency. If it doesn't it isn't right.

    Is it just me Sean, I can see the first statement being an extension of the system."Energy" (money, time,etc), as with a lot of things, adds a subtle and distinct flavor (to life or whatever), if the dish (whatever your working on) is already loaded with other flavor profiles, don't waste your parsley. In other works don't fix it if it isn't broken. Conserve your energy (money,time)until it matters! Maybe a law for the economics theroy. We chase our tails sometimes, that's for sure. Is akin to taking a long ass road around a mountian, to get 5 ft in front of yourself. Either way you are getting there, just the most direct path is less exhausting. The concept is; Why does one over think (and over spend) on things when working on one's own stuff. One should not over think, but apply the logic one already uses. And everyone here in the hop is guilty. Bunch of overthinkers.

    For the first time this year I am NOT jealous of that statement. Don't get me wrong, I'd hit it. Nice extension btw.

    And if you don't need the whites do it over a garbage canNew task to learn. J They make plastic egg separators which keep your hands clean, but it is really amazing what you can do with your fingers. If you are doing a bunch and don't mind two dirty hands it is even faster to toss the yolk between your hands but also unnecessary.
