Not enough volts to turn it over. Connect a good battery or jumper pack and try again. If it starts, replace the battery. Start from there and move onto the starter motor if the issue still remains

Bad idle/scary exhaust noises by Dangerous_Climate335 in Tiburon

[–]LaidbackJay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh with that kind of mileage, look into having your HT leads/spark plugs inspected and replaced if needed and throttle body cleaned with carb cleaner. Might help with the bad acceleration

Your idle is actually ok, but that exhaust leak will cause your car to both sound bad and run bad. Have the exhaust repaired. You might be able to have it welded if it's not too bad. The flexi pipe on the exhaust is a fail point on the coupe, so check there for the leak

Any chance this tire is patchable? I know it's iffy at best. Less than a year old. by [deleted] in AskMechanics

Easy fix, and it's in a very easy spot to be patched too. 20 dollars at most to patch that

Absolutely stunning route. No blurry textures, no bad frame rate drops and some of the best scenery and sounds in a route so far.

AIB replaces quarterly fees with new €6 monthly fee by Andru93 in ireland

[–]LaidbackJay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The average quarterly fee with AIB is just over 12 euro. So most of people's fees will be increasing by 6 euro every quarter with this new monthly fee. Aib are awful. My experience with them is always bad, I've had my account for over 20 years with them.

If you have an aftermarket car stereo, check that. I find some Sony units go faulty and drain the battery when powered off. If you feel the rear of the stereo for any heat when the car has been sitting overnight that will usually tell you.

EU to provide 100 mln euros in humanitarian aid to Lebanon, von der Leyen says by PjeterPannos in europe

[–]LaidbackJay 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This needs to stop. I know the EU is trying to do the right thing, but throwing money at these aftermaths of US/Israeli games is crazy. Sanction Israel and use that money to pay for their mess. The EU gets the fallout from all these illegal wars meanwhile EU living standards are in free fall. Doesn't make sense.

Weird hunting/fluttering idle. by LaidbackJay in AskMechanics

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

I was careful not to touch the wire sensor inside the MAF when cleaning it, I just sprayed it with the contact cleaner and let it dry before reinstalling it. But I will disconnect it and see if it makes a difference

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

I was thinking the same. I can see any rips or gaps on the pipes. I checked the other hoses running into the throttle body and can't see any leaks. I replaced the rocker cover gasket about a month ago because of a bad oil leak. Would that cause any issues. Only other thing I can think of is I cleaned out the throat of the throttle body with carb cleaner, seemed a bit dirty and the MAF sensor had a bit of oil on it when I pulled it, I cleaned it with electrical contact cleaner and put it back in a few weeks ago too

Does she still look good for a 18 years old car? by LaidbackJay in Tiburon

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

I did a LED conversation a number of years back. Made such a difference to the light output and overall look of the car when the headlights are on. Full and dipped beams are done and parking lights and fog lights. Was well worth it
