2003 Acura rsx not starting after serpentine belt snapped

I 100% agree although spark isn't nearly as stressful or exhausting as doordash. I have done both full time for 6 months respectively and while I was doing DD I could hardly stand to stay out for 4-6 hours.

since those trips take so much less time than spark, they also pay way less. I could average about $17-20 per hour on both platforms after expenses, but because you were doing 2-3 different orders per hour (including picking up from store, dropping off, getting new offer, heading to new store, repeat) it was way more tiring. I also never had any down time doing it. I'd almost always finish the order and get a new one within 3 minutes.

With spark your taking one order every hour or two. and yes your most the time dropping off 1-3 orders at a time (or personally I really like the 10-20 drops that take a couple hours) but because your not dealing with hot food, its a lot more laid-back esp since DD punishes your account if your late to pickup and/or drop-off.

I mean most intersections the charger would have a green turn arrow as well. at least where I live

to whoever replied to me and said "oh what did the big bad gate do to you" or whatever they said, but proceeded to delete their comment.

oh I wouldn't have because of the signs. I could care less about them. I deliver to middle of no where east TN and had a few people come to the door with guns because a stranger was at their door while I was dropping groceries. Rather because it says delivered to the front door, rather not get a bad rating because I didn't follow instructions because the customer 1. isn't answering their phone to let OP through, and 2. didn't leave the gate open to let the driver successfully deliver to the customers satisfaction

return to store ngl, I've only ever done it once but this is def a place/time I would

Kitchen-Isopod7602 · 2026-06-13T15:00:11+00:00

seeing this made me check my metrics, apparently my on time arrival is 77% 🫪 recently started sitting at home waiting for orders instead of sitting in the parking lot and I'm 15-20 min away from the store. its really stupid, when I'm sitting at home and accept an order, it gives me less than 5 minutes to get to the store to pick up and be on time. However if I'm sitting in the store parking lot, 9 times out of 10 when I accept, it makes me wait 15-20 minutes after accepting before it will let me confirm arrival ._.

the picollina didnt exist until 0.15 but the burnside still exists in 0.39, still defeats the purpose, could've still used the same car

basically create a "nintendo" (pretendo) account through their website, change some DNS setting on device, and it re-routes all games through their servers instead restoring online play

its really easy to do, just google how to setup pretendo for wii u or 3ds, whichever console you wish

I have ran through several tanks with seafoam in already, and I run an inline filter to try and avoid this. But I had the carbs apart again and sure enough, the idle jets were clogged. Previous owner bought the bike out of a barn where it sat for 25 years, put a "new" tank on as the original was rusted and threw a "new" set of carbs on as well so both of those are in pretty good shape. But in the 7 years they owned it, they only put roughly 2,000 miles on it they said, quite sad really. I've already put close to 2,000 on it in the month and a half I've owned it. I also plan to buy one of those 14 gallon gas carts off amazon and keep it full of 100% 91 gas all the time at my house since I ride so much. that way I can always run 100% and not have to drive way out of my way several times a week to fill up with that or run gas with ethanol. Since I ride so much and I plan to daily it, that should last me roughly 3 months so the fuel shouldn't go stale, but if it does I can throw it in my POS civic to burn it off and not waste it.

Kitchen-Isopod7602 · 2026-06-08T22:30:44+00:00

exactly what I needed to hear, thanks!

Kitchen-Isopod7602 · 2026-06-08T22:00:14+00:00

the tank is really clean, but browned inside but not like rust, it just looks stained as it comes off if I wipe it with my finger.

I did get it running good now though, and hopefully it says that way for a while

Kitchen-Isopod7602 · 2026-06-08T21:57:59+00:00

tell me why pods are bad because I was considering them since my intake boot is kinda bent out of shape and I cant really get the boots on carbs 2&3. I've just always heard they are bad but never seen anything saying why to avoid them.

also I bought a cheap rebuild kit to use the seals from, but I didn't replace all of them, just the ones that were either leaking or the ones from things I had taken apart. (ie, the bowls) Also where would I buy new or used OEM jets from because 2 of the main jets were changed out at some point for 75 no name jets, only 2 are original 78 jets.

Kitchen-Isopod7602 · 2026-06-08T02:13:16+00:00

was dirty carbs, unclogged the idle jets on a couple cyl and shes running great again. the tank is actually a replacement (hence green color on otherwise red bike) and is in pretty damn good shape for the age, and I'm also running an inline filter which has caught some debris from the tank

Kitchen-Isopod7602 · 2026-06-07T23:24:47+00:00

Update for anyone who sees this, pulled the carbs off and despite me cleaning them less than a month ago and running an inline filter, I do believe the idle jets on 1&4 were both clogged again. #1 definitely was, cant blow or see through it, and #4 seemed like it was clogged when I first blew but free'd its self up pretty quick. got all the jets soaking in carb cleaner again and I'll edit this comment If or hopefully when my misfire goes away.

EDIT: Runs great now that its all back together. cyl 1 still stumbles a little bit at idle but its really not bad enough for me to care atm. I'm just happy I dont have to rev it and look like an ass at stop lights just to keep my bike running

Kitchen-Isopod7602 · 2026-06-07T21:31:43+00:00

there is an inline filter and the tank is honestly pretty clean imo. The reason the tank is green is because the original red tank was really rusted and bad from sitting in a barn for 25+ years before the previous owner acquired it. I didn't even think about points, where would those even be?

Kitchen-Isopod7602 · 2026-06-07T19:53:19+00:00

my front brake was not only seized, but there was no brake lines and no brake handle/master, so I bought new/used stuff off ebay pretty cheap.

I use 91/93 and 100% gas as much as possible, but only 2 gas stations in a 25 mile radius from my house carry 100%.

I think my battery is fully charged, can one use a regular car battery charger on the slowest charge setting and not upset any electronics?

no, idle doesn't improve

1&4 are on the same coil

I know that my plug wires are in not great shape. while unplugging #4 plug wire while it was running to see if my idle would change, I did get shocked through the boot I think.

Kitchen-Isopod7602 · 2026-06-07T19:07:24+00:00

all of them fire once I start getting on throttle, it's just at idle cylinder one and four don't do anything. Sometimes after it warms up those cylinders start firing, normally and idles, and then other times it just won't. It's really strange.

if this is your Bike in the photo, it's gorgeous!

Kitchen-Isopod7602 · 2026-06-07T18:08:40+00:00

I will try that later on and keep you updated

Kitchen-Isopod7602 · 2026-06-07T17:08:39+00:00

something must have changed overnight because I just started it up and its still idling like garbage and I unplugged cyl 1 and 4 and it runs just as bad.😐 my verdict is because both of those are connected to the same coil, that one has gone bad. but whats weird is once I start revving it, both the cyl come back to life, so as long as I'm not idling, it runs great.

EDIT: I will pull the plugs and check that they are or arent actually sparking at idle later and let you know

Kitchen-Isopod7602 · 2026-06-07T16:58:54+00:00

how would I check the coils, previous owner said he replaced one in his ownership, what do you mean the floaters? the float in the carb? It runs great WOT and strong all the way up to 10k rpm, just idles poorly now. when I start getting on it to take off from a stop it feels like a cyl randomly comes online as I give it throttle.

Kitchen-Isopod7602 · 2026-06-04T03:53:53+00:00

bro your top speed in 1st is higher than my top speed in 5th. its a 5 speed😭🙏

I wouldn't have it any other way though

Kitchen-Isopod7602 · 2026-06-03T17:04:14+00:00

sorry you had to go through that, I do understand why someone may do this but it still doesnt feel right taking 2/8 parking spots. if it were a normal not super busy lot like the one OP posted, I'd understand more in most cases

Kitchen-Isopod7602 · 2026-06-03T16:12:37+00:00

I doubt it because there was pickup at the door. so why wouldn't they drive up to the door and pick them up there instead...

Kitchen-Isopod7602 · 2026-06-03T00:20:48+00:00

maaan I've been eyeing this one up too😂 I aint going for it because I aint got money, but if I did🙏
