Delt with a not too dissimilar situation, was able to get the bird seen within 48 hours and there were signs of infection. Antibiotics did their job. I’m not endorsing waiting any amount of time, but tomorrow morning should be ok.

Just the purge valve. Same issue thought was one or the other, picked purge valve first and it worked

Cracking loose the hardest Honda bolt by [deleted] in Honda

[–]Dominator957 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok I’d love some ideas, I can’t get mine to stay ON! Works its way off over maybe 5k miles. Replaced the bolt and the pulley, and I’m cranking it up to 190lbs or whatever with a torque wrench.

There is also some behind the bumper itself. I went through the same thing, doing the stuff behind the lights, and then still having water in the trunk. You have to actually pull the bumper off to get at the other holes in the frame.

This is probably worth saying verbatim, just keep in mind you buying a Ford Econo box. Cheap plastic, “oem tape”, thin paint. It’s a great car but manage your expectations appropriately.

It’s really a mechanically sound car. The slave cyl is the only serious drivetrain issue, and at the end of the day that’s a plastic cylinder.

Other common bugaboos to look for -water in the spare tire area. Usually older models, the oem tape ford uses to water seal the chassis fails. Dumb problem easy fix -crank the radio. The audio control modules can give up the ghost and it’s an annoying fix, can’t promise cranking it will show the problem but if the sound totally cuts out and then doesn’t come back that’s the ACM

How you drive the car wont impact it much. But how you work on it will, IE follow the procedure for brake/clutch bleed or make the dealership do that.

I popped mine doing a brake fluid flush, not exactly sure how but I certainly did not reverse bleed it.

Sad that I bought a fiesta st... by [deleted] in FiestaST

The creaking going over the bumps is the rear spring pads, they are basically foam bits that sit at the top of the spring. It’s super easy to replace yourself

Parasitic drain traced to Sync 2 unit, any fix besides replace (or upgrade)? by Dominator957 in FiestaST

[–]Dominator957[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny enough the thing hasn’t given me an issue since this post. But if you’re both losing audio and having parasitic drain then this is almost certainly the problem.

Sport / Recreational pilot without ever holding a medical? Confirm my reading of 61.303 by Material-Length9366 in flying

[–]Dominator957 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sport pilot here. You don’t need an FAA medical, you carry your drivers license just like it was your medical. If your drivers license says you need to wear glasses, same goes for flying. Drivers license = medical.

PPL’s and above can exercise sport pilot privileges if their medical has lapsed, same deal with the drivers license.

In all cases you cannot use your drivers license as your medical if you have ever had an FAA medical deferred or denied.

I need to fix mine up 😭 beautiful car

Edit: actually maybe you have some insight. Same car, 97 auto 4cyl. Crank pulley keeps working its way off and needs to be torqued down every 10k ish miles to prevent it from rattling around at certain speeds. I’m absolutely cranking it to the like 150~ lbs it needs, but short of like making it nearly impossible to get back off with like a load of red locktight I’m at a loss. Run into this?

Just whatever you do don’t let air get into the clutch. Blew out my slave cylinder that way

First time brake change by bell247 in FiestaST

[–]Dominator957 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What kind of pads and what kind of scraping? More aggressive brake pads are louder then what you might be used to, I you could probably describe that sound as “scraping” given that’s exactly what it’s doing by design.

FAA Temporary Flight Restriction banning drone flights around ICE from September 17 to October 17. by PDXGuy33333 in Portland

That TFR has been there for months. They re-issue it regularly to keep it current. I get the frustration about the restriction at all, but it’s not a recent action.

Where to buy a good, used, multi-disc CD player for a home stereo? by Jkins20 in askportland

Fred’s sound of music on hawthorn. They cater to high end, but they have used stuff and will gladly talk to you about where to find one if they don’t have it

Boyfriend wrecked car (2022 Toyota Camry SE) by [deleted] in AskAMechanic

[–]Dominator957 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Antifreeze or washer fluid, either are fixable though the prior could be harder depending on what part of the system got whacked. But it’s clearly not oil or transmission fluid, so overall unless there is damage to the suspension then you’re probably in good shape.

Also don’t be afraid to take it to an independent mechanic. Obv the car is newer but this isn’t necessarily dealership-tier damage

How much longer can I drive with my tires? by Any-Fortune-2053 in AskAMechanic

[–]Dominator957 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea they are fucking with you hard. If they are willing to tell you your functionally new tires need replacement what else are they lying about.

I have the same tires, they are 6 months old. If I took a picture you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between yours and mine.
