What did you do to your Gen7 today?

[Rich01]

Had to make an appointment with XLR8 performance to get my O2 sensors replaced this Friday because this I don't foresee a warm day in the near future and need to get my emissions done.

Congrats!

I have to get mine done now. All O2 sensors got replaced and I was able to turn the secondary sensor check back on with no CEL now.

Still having a starting issues after sitting for about 1hr that has to be sorted out.

hit black ice twice. first time I almost rear ended a land rover, while going 5mph. Slowly applied the brakes and the car kept sliding. Yank the ebrake last min. stopped short 1in from their bump.

Second time I was making a left and slowing down. Again the car kept sliding so I yang the ebrakes. No one in the lane this time around.

Black ice > Snow tires.

Need spikes for the ice

Started debugging some fuel issues.

Received my package of automotive finish refinishing. Will apply next week when I'm off and post pics.

Pulled my intake mani, primed the fuel and checked for leaky injectors. All dry. Noticed that the vacuum line from the regulator that was disconnected from mani was dripping fuel. Put a cap on the mani and a plug in the regulator. Gonna order a replacement and maybe the repair kit to keep this as a spare. So we're pretty sure this is why im having issues starting after sitting for a while. Figure the fuel is dripping into the mani  and over time reaching the runners. Currently, whatever fuel/vapor that may be hanging in the mani should clear up soon.

^ pix please?

[Rich01]

Pix of what? I took some of, as best as I could, down in the runners. I was trying to show the top of the valves. I also have one of the fuel dripping into a container from the vacuum line on the regulator. I can post these later.

Had to dig my car out with hot water. Ice/ snow froze to the front of the car and couldn't get enough traction to drive out.

Man I miss California

Oil change in 10* weather today. I need Chase bank to hurry up and approve my offer on the short sale so I can have my own garage.

Here are the pics




Here's amount that drained while I was checking the injectors

Yesterday I got my alignment re-check at Firestone and then had to go to another emissions testing site because they said my car was too low to go in the bay where the camera was. Oh well, I passed

[CrackerTeg]

Did a lot of masking of parts and got the finish refinishing project underway.

I had a chance to do some work on getting my throttle body to get it to seal better.  I'm hoping this resolves the issues I've been experiencing with my idle.
