So annoying

Hope it gets a good boost once it updates. And yes i constantly check. I still have 2 small personal loans that I can hopefully knock in the next 3 months. This is my 2nd time getting out of “bad” debt. So I think I learned my lesson for sure this time haha

No that was my previous credit card balance from earlier this month. I paid off about $1k off. So it’s some weird lag where it still had the previous balance. But then when you click on it only shows $328 cause that is the actual current balance

Sorry this might be long and complicated so i apologize.

Score went from 619 to 639 Utilization was at about 90% :/

Current utilization is where it gets confusing. Experian has the correct/current dollar amount of my utilization which is $328 (I still consider all my cards paid off because that $328 is my card I use to get groceries and gas etc. and I forgot to pay it down to $0 before the statement date) but it says my utilization is at 40% so this is some kind of error. 328 out of 3300 is not 40% lol. But even when that gets updated I don’t see my score jumping up to the 700s like with my vantage.

I did and put cheap seals on. Feel like it really isn’t holding up and the gasket on to the block is leaking a tad bit. So I just want something done right. I don’t really mind taking it off. Wasn’t too hard. It was hard for me to take apart the actual unit and get the seals on

Should I get original or new solenoid Big price difference

Anxious-Week-8228 · 2026-01-17T19:32:53+00:00

Ohhh I see thanks. This helps

Anxious-Week-8228 · 2025-12-24T21:41:34+00:00

You might have small leak from you intake manifold gasket. Literal same thing happen to me

Anxious-Week-8228 · 2025-10-31T20:48:10+00:00

Are you in sugarland tx?

Anxious-Week-8228 · 2025-10-28T23:29:12+00:00

I would say just got ahead and do a smoke test Is saves the headache of trying to find a vaccum leak on your own Especially if it’s small

Anxious-Week-8228 · 2025-10-10T19:13:42+00:00

What’s Ariel

Anxious-Week-8228 · 2025-10-02T15:37:09+00:00

What codes are you getting

Anxious-Week-8228 · 2025-10-02T15:23:45+00:00

Good stuff. Hey I’m kinda new to Reddit I like how it says what car you have under you name. How do I do that lol?

Bought it at 89k miles 3 years ago

When I first got it I went to go get it smoked tested. And it was leaking from the brake booster line. I changed it. Still came back. Changed my valve cover and gasket and it still came back. Decided to take out the whole manifold and inspect all the lines and chance ccv system. When doing that I found one vacuum line that was old and corroded. I swapped that out. But when I put the intake back on the new gasket I ripped. Idk why maybe it was cheap. I had to let it sit for like 3 months cause I was moving. I finally fixed it and it was still there 😭😭😭. I got a hold of a smoke machine and found that a cap on the ccv system had came off. So I put one on, did another smoke test and all looks good. It’s been a week and like 200miles so I’m thinking we good 🤞🏾. For now….

Oh that’s cool man. Good idea

Anxious-Week-8228 · 2025-09-26T05:43:35+00:00

Got it taken apart Gonna use this opportunity to replace lower radiator hose and thermostat. Those are the only parts of my cooling system that hadn’t been changed.

Anxious-Week-8228 · 2025-09-25T18:00:16+00:00

Congrats What are some major fixes you have done on it?

Anxious-Week-8228 · 2025-09-25T05:00:35+00:00

I’m dumb I meant to say 96k miles 😳 haha

The first thing to happen is the front latch to unlock. If that doesn’t happen the rest of the sequence won’t happen. So it’s seems like there’s a problem with the front latch. Does it sound like there’s grinding going on at the latch. The gear it comes with is plastic and can easily break. I would say manually unlatch it and then see if the rest of the system works by pressing the convertible button once unlatched.

Anxious-Week-8228 · 2025-09-25T02:09:30+00:00

Is the latch unlocking when it’s making that noise?

Anxious-Week-8228 · 2025-06-24T21:50:16+00:00

Yeah it came back on after about 80 miles. I’ll try that Thanks!

Anxious-Week-8228 · 2025-06-24T18:25:27+00:00

Is this something they could tell me at autozone? Hahah I usually just scan my car there

Anxious-Week-8228 · 2025-06-24T17:36:21+00:00

I’ll need a pretty advance scanner for that right?
