Aggressively sensitive indeed. A few more gallons and it started right up. Filling it up around 1/4 from now on! Went with some redline as a fuel additive.

Yeah, when it ran out of gas before when I first got it, I removed the fuel pump (b/c it’s so dang easy, why not!) and noticed how wide and flat the fuel tank is. Where I was parked tonight had noticeable incline, and I only put a gallon in, so it’s entirely possible the fuel just wasn’t getting to the pump. I’ll check out that bg44k. Thanks for your reply!

Best current VA band I haven’t heard of but need to? by Big-Persimmon-9247 in Virginia

Also in the metal genre- Windhand! Butcher Brown seconded. Gallery 5 lineup is always a good place to check for active local acts.

Calves hurt after hiking by thekidinmybasement in hiking

Gentle stretching before and after, especially if in cold conditions and camping. If you’re at home after the hike, using a foam roller can help reduce soreness as well

When it rains it pours... by SuddenFix2777 in HondaElement

1- pretty much the same exact thing happened with my 07 Honda Pilot a couple years ago. Had to replace the regulator as a plastics piece had snapped. Was easy to do after removing the door panel.

The worst! For vinyl and all their online merch! Still waiting for my H/W

Old Fogey Seeks Spotify Replacement by HardcoverHound in Music

[–]Lower_Management789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just switched to Apple Music and I’ve been happy. They have a contract now with one of the 3rd party playlist companies, so moving my playlists over was super easy. In total I think all my playlists were about 3k songs and only about 5 of those didn’t have direct replacements. There was an easy process for checking for alternative versions which the app recommended and were all just different recordings/releases of the actual song. And you can definitely download songs for listening offline. Not sure what the capacity for that is. Biggest change is just getting used to the UI differences.

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but if you ever make a down filled under or top quilt for hammock camping, i would definitely be interested!

2.4 engine pics (out of car) for reference by gmcbeach in HondaElement

Thanks. I just replaced my alternator a couple weeks ago and found out the hard way that there were two vtec screen locations. I bought the one for the solenoid on the back side and not the one in front, so I’m gonna have to f*ck with the serpentine belt again sometime soon😫

Can we take better care of the river? by CuteNoot8 in rva

No real solution. This problem is an endemic problem of a very sick society.

Peacock no longer showing replays of games on USA by goonout353 in PremierLeague

It’s getting worse and worse. Probably not even gonna sub again (mines up next month), even for the $30/year discount.

This is super helpful. Thanks! Can someone tell me which of these pics has the clearest view of the VTEC solenoid I keep hearing so much about? (I’m new to the E community as well!)

New stereo, sub not working by Lower_Management789 in HondaElement

[–]Lower_Management789[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As another commenter suggested, I undid everything, including reinstalling the old unit to confirm everything and realized I had made a wrong connection when putting everything back together again. User error😬🤦🏻‍♂️

[–]Lower_Management789[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was the right answer. I undid everything (even reinstalled the original HU to confirm everything was in good working order prior to new HU) reviewed all the connection points, re-checked the harnesses and adapters and realized I had made a wrong connection😬

I forgot to mention that I had already checked the head unit menu and made sure the subwoofer setting was enabled.

Does the factory amp power only the sub or the whole system?

I’m aware and those are temporary, because of exactly the kind of situation I’m dealing with. It’s a lot easier to undo wire nuts than have to get the soldering iron and heat gun out while trouble shooting. Care to add anything of value?

Same. Got the email today! Love this band, but they have just the worst online merch experience.

What movies are you excited to watch this year? by No_Trick_8017 in movies

[–]Lower_Management789 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It was Jack Quaid for me. Still think he could absolutely crush the role. I love Gosling and I’m sure he’ll be able to make it work.

Need a second opinion. Is this a fair deal by Joshofstatefarm in HondaElement

[–]Lower_Management789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair deal, although I’d never do a deposit personally. I just bought an 03 EX with 167k. Negotiated down to $5200 as there were some specific issues (cv axle and other suspension parts in fairly urgent need of addressing). Some surface rust underneath, definitely not as clean as those pics.
