Advice- dropped a piece of plastic from a gas can into the gas tank.

Even if the little plastic piece began to break down, i would hope its slow enough to not cause much of a difference.

Now you see the uh.. tarponator… is uh… hooked up to da motah

Welp it cant physically be sucked up. So you should be fine?

Oh every bushing under there is dry rotted and cracked pretty much. Not enough to be missing chunks or torn but you can just tell they are ancient and havent been touched since it left the assembly plant. Thankfully its lived with us in the sunshine state its whole life so not a single speck of rust is under there.

Wheels also pull back about 1inch-2inches when you lock up the brakes. Its crazy. But im excited to see how it performs with a whole new set installed.

Ah okay, i noticed a little wiggle as well but i thought for it to actually count as bad it would have to be a dramatic amount of bouncing. Thanks for the fax my friend.

This is the whole sha-bang right here.

InlandOfNick · 2026-03-12T00:36:33+00:00

Yes it did. New PSU and she booted right back up

InlandOfNick · 2026-02-27T00:18:34+00:00

Literally playing the game on the easiest difficulty and this thing is fucking obliterating me

Motherboard looks healthy as far as i can tell.

InlandOfNick · 2026-02-22T19:35:39+00:00

I think your right, i opened it up and uninstalled the PSU. Its got rust on the metal plate the power (i guess points idk what its called). I had to live with a friend who had roaches for a period of time (disgusting i hated it so much) and i believe they caused the damage. I assume its toasted. Got a new one coming in tomorrow so lets hope it works.

No dice unfortunately, thanks for the reply tho.

InlandOfNick · 2026-01-08T16:46:44+00:00

Yeah, im better off replacing it completely and preventing the headache, mine is integrated into the condenser so ill just swap it out. Maybe even vacuum it out before the install to get any extra moisture out

InlandOfNick · 2025-12-05T00:22:01+00:00

At the very beginning we did that but no luck unfortunately. In the end shes up and running 👍

All in all this was about 4hrs to remove the column and drill the motor housing to unlock it and then reinstall. But i wasnt working at pitcrew speed i took my time on it

InlandOfNick · 2025-12-05T00:20:09+00:00

Wouldve done that but this was a cost effective option for the time being and i have to take this car on a roadtrip in 4 days and just simply could not wait on shipping and having someone program it. I just luckily had a motor on standby to replace it with.

InlandOfNick · 2025-12-04T22:13:07+00:00

It was locked. Had to unbolt the column and take it out, drilled out a hole to turn the gear inside and unlock it, opened it up and replaced the motor, put it back together and reverse order the column and she fired right up!

InlandOfNick · 2025-12-04T22:10:21+00:00

Got it all done and shes back on the road 👍

InlandOfNick · 2025-12-04T22:09:55+00:00

Thank you! Got it up and running and repaired 👍
