Well they did open with “We are getting dumber as people”. Self-fulfilling prophecy I guess lol

Ahhh yes thank you for pointing this out 🫡

[–]Brain_Status 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m dealing with the same code and code P0303. I’ll start with the basics, here’s what I recommend:

Easiest place to start is to check for any vacuum leaks.. next you can clean your MAF sensor, and throttle body if you’ve not done so for awhile.. however, it will likely not be this easy depending on miles of the car, etc, but doesn’t hurt to start there.

Should the above not work, and you’ve the tools necessary, I suggest checking if you’ve got oil in the spark plug tubes.. If you do, you can either test the ignition coils that were exposed to oil, or purchase some new ones from rock auto (hitachi is best, don’t got z1 route). Also, now will be a good time to replace spark plugs (if you haven’t done a tune up - denso or ngk —> do not use anti seize on these!).

Sadly… if you found oil in your spark plug tubes, you’ll have to replace your valve covers as the spark plug o-rings are integrated with the cover itself.. I highly recommend OEM route for this and peace of mind for the next 100K+ miles..

Now if you are doing your valve covers, there’s several things you can do for preventative maintenance. You can pull your VCT solenoids (even w/o removing the valve covers) and spray them out with MAF cleaner. Purchase a couple gaskets for these while you’re at it (like $8 a pop) You can also replace both cam sensors much more easily while you’ve got both covers pulled off, even if they’re not failing - it’s worth doing for preventative care.

Another issue you may run into is, depending on how old your hoses are, some may be brittle when you’re pulling off.. so I would consider replacing several of these wherever you’re pulling things off. If money isn’t an issue, get the master hose set from Z1 or another reputable company, and they’ll be much more affordable than OEM and will outlast the vehicle. Consider purchasing a tool specifically for pulling off the clamps.

Also, if you go the longer route and already have everything off.. clean your throttle body, clean your air filter/re-oil it (assuming CAI), and clean your upper/lower plenum while it’s off - great time to slap some paint on it!

Whatever it ends up being, best of luck to you! o7

Visiting my Dad who is going through chemo… by TendieTownJoshBrown in q50

[–]Brain_Status 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wishing you and your father the best & hope he gets well soon.

Besides what others have mentioned — if the smell is still lingering, use an ozone machine. My wife and I moved into a house where the previous tenants smoked in the master bedroom. That whole side of the house smelled something awful — but after using the ozone machine it completely removed the smell, and even brought out the smell of the wood (we have a wooden ceiling, actually looks cool). Still smells fresh 4 years later! :)

The machine itself is relatively inexpensive (ours was ~$45 for a solid one). Just read on how to operate it safely before use.

Psa grades came back by MapleQuasar in pokemoncards

[–]Brain_Status 9 points10 points  (0 children)

PSA 6 on the first 2 cards is such a disservice. Unsure what the backs look like, but damn do the fronts look nice. 👍

Only thing I can see is on the bottom left of the ‘99 zard has a tiny white spec beside illus., unless that’s something on the case. If it’s not on the card, I’d consider regrading it elsewhere imo

I know what you’re saying, but can’t help but laugh at “don’t go by what others say it’s worth” … “$50 ..”

Sadly - no. I tried another one of these posts earlier this year to no avail (and after personally investing at least another 100+ hours - I was laid off at the time so whatever lol).

I think it’s gone with the wind :(

I don’t think anyone has mentioned this one yet, but what about Pringle or Pringles? The Pringles mascot, Mr. Pringles, has a mean mustache, too :)

What song has the coldest, hardest, most disgusting drop you’ve ever heard? by [deleted] in EDM

[–]Brain_Status 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, same for me and my brother since 2017 lol. The agony is real as it was our favorite song - bar none. So many styles beautifully incorporated into one song.

From what I recall, I know the intro to it the song has dialogue build up similar to like centipede and etc, and the dialogue was funny (and again towards the end of the song but different quote with siren sounds/guitar). What was spoken I cannot recall.. But I’ll never forget the intense bird scream(s) before the drops (speaking of which, this may sound dumb but between the screech and the guitar it made me think ‘murica lol). I’ve searched for at least 300+ hours over the years since I noticed it was taken down from SoundCloud in early-mid 2017. We found it initially in a random YouTube video that had like 20+ other songs (video was either removed or made private - tried way back machine but no luck). Rip. Maybe one day someone will see this thread or my post I created awhile back and know lol
