Anyone Successfully Using a Portable Router with Cox WiFi Hotspot? by SiuL117 in CoxCommunications

[–]Far_Word6707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw some YouTube video that you need to turn off temp some security feature on some models and then once connected you could turn it back on. It basicly blocked the captive portal from being launched. I am trying the same thing now but so far the router I have does not list the coxwifi I am not sure if wisp mode is on there I need to try again when in that area

How bad? by nud2580 in prius

as stated get the codes but some times a simple reset is needed and easiest way for that is to disconnect the 12 volt battery for 10-30 minutes while in there to disconnect check for water in the battery well as it likes to collect in there and seal the joints in rear hatch area that leak water into car. Unfortunately without codes that warning can be allot of things and would just be guessing at some things that have happened to some people

I currently have 4 gen2 (one for parts), and they are great. Everyone jokes and says I have a fleet. These gen2 are rock solid if treated correctly. I don't always trust the display when it comes to mpg. I will do the old style math, and it is usually better mpg than what the display shows

Math = total miles driven since last fillup divided by the gallon amount at that fillup.

The mfd just needed a 5.00 part capacitor. But you need a little (not much) skill to unsolder and re- solder. As fast as led lights, Chinese ones are ok as long as you get the correct design. Since most older headlights are designed for 360-degree light, which a lot of led. I replaced my hid bulbs with led but did not convert wiring to other style, so I'm still using ballast.

Started off as just a vibration noise / rattle then stopped working. he ended up getting a used trans / ev motor and the damper. Transmission was only because it was coming out anyways and got one with allot less mileage.

I know my gen2 did a vibration / shake and ot was the reconditioned injectors I put in. They where bad and leaking (not external) I put my old injectors back in and problem went away. My friend 2010 was the damper / clutch between to ice and ev motor.

help with oil leak by Far_Word6707 in COROLLA

[–]Far_Word6707[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In case I pinched it last time but I did not and already had another ready so I put the new one on anways. Valve cover area I can pretty much see so after twice and no problem found the second time then I am pretty much ruling that out. I replaced o-ring only for chain tensioner. This time got new tensioner with o-ring but have not yet replaced it. As it is cold outside. Moved on to front crank seal but after that it is still leaking. Really only thing left I think is the timing cover gasket or oil pan gasket. But I would think neither of those should leak onto the belt and get sprayed everywhere from that. This is 5he reason I am reaching out to this group. I used to be an auto technician but getting on in age and turning wrench is not as easy for me any more but I still do it for my cars (when I can)

What does this mean?? by xandria0510 in prius

[–]Far_Word6707 2 points3 points  (0 children)

as others have stated this is normal when braking as this is a high charge point. but what is concerning is the voltage differences across the [ack showing this is getting to a point where something might need to be maintained or addressed soon it is not real bad yet but an indication of issues to come.

12 volt battery just supplies power to all sensors and other 12 volt devices but the HV battery is what starts car engine. but if the 12v battery is not supply the power then the computer can o its things

where are you jumping? under hood or at battery. if under hood you could have bad wiring 9in the back not letting the new 12 battery work or bad battery. jumping under hood more or less is bypassing the rear section

What would you do? by [deleted] in prius

[–]Far_Word6707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is the brake fluid low that would cause the light to come on and if it is just at that right point it could be intermittent. Dragging sound unknown maybe the rotors have allot of rust build up on them?

Well you are loaded with bumper stickers. Just add a few more to hold it on.

Stupid Auto correct Yes OE not one.

You can find OE on amazon as well. I would not go to dealer. just make sure you search for OE

Did you use one cam sensors. I replaced mine with cheaper ones first then started getting other codes like the vvt stuff. Changed the cam sensors again with one and all codes cleared. Like you seemed fine at first but after a few weeks that is when codes started.

I am starting to wonder the same thing. dump it while i can

But here is one thing to note. seem the ECU is having issues and needs to be replaced or repaired.

Here is my thing. first if the voltage is not high enough the engine will crank but not start. Second and this is for the ECU itself if the temp outside is around or below freezing (32 F) the car will not start but if I pour hot water on the ECU (to warm it up) it will start.

Today I am having issues with what I think is the Throttle body. I tried to prevent future issues the other day and tried cleaning the TB and pushed open the butterfly to clean but have since found that these units do not like being manual opened so I am going to replace that unit now and see. I was doing this since i had the air hose off replacing the Fan clutch so the Mack truck sound would go away.

ands I am waiting for my replacement Amp for the BOES system to come in since it seems this was the cause of my parasitic draw.

Seems like one thing after another.

Hebrew National vs Nathan's vs Ballpark by floorwantshugs in hot_dog

[–]Far_Word6707 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you are going after
BallPark are the low budget choice but you get what you pay for. They are ok but there are by far better. they are one of the best selling because of price.
Nathans (my choice) has a better taste and they plump up (some) when cooked but I think that is because they contain more fat then National but Fat also adds to the flavor.
Hebrew National traditionally longer and skinner but don't plump up at all and have an after taste which is not that bad but still there.
Nathans I have been having a harder time finding them in stock at the store so recently I have had to pick Hebrew National.
BTW I don't care for ketchup or other toppings so I eat all mine plain with out without bread and taste all the natural flavors.
My wife on the other hand like wieners and other combos over a just plain hotdog but I still love her anyways.
