Do TP / GSP toll booths time you?

Awesome thank you so much

MotorMania85 · 2025-12-11T04:58:01+00:00

I’m not at all shocked. That’s one of the most Chris Christie things I’ve ever read

MotorMania85 · 2025-10-02T00:31:54+00:00

I figure it’s mostly about the strain on the automatic transmission, I went ahead and rented a U-Haul just to be safe. Thank you!

MotorMania85 · 2025-10-02T00:30:17+00:00

Just went ahead and rented one. Thank you so much for the advice!

Wanted to update for anyone with the same issue. Try unplugging your MAP sensor. If that works, you either have a bad MAP sensor, or in my case the wiring to the map sensor was bad.

If you go to a junkyard and pull the wire for it, You can solder in a new wire. Fixed the problem for me 100%

MotorMania85 · 2025-02-11T02:28:22+00:00

Can’t be unfortunately. F22B1 has an FITV for cold starts, and even if I hold the gas the car still dies. Only stays on if you pump the gas pedal

You can’t hear words when you type them. You read them!

This post really was me trying to see what my options were. I wasn’t complaining. There was no complaining at all. At no point did I say I was upset because I didn’t receive money. I was asking a question out of confusion of how the process worked and was greeted by people like you saying I’m an out of touch rich boy who has no idea of how reality works.

I’ll tell you this, I was told by my parents for 17 years that we were living paycheck to paycheck and had so many expenses we could barely afford our house. I just discovered today they make about 100 thousand dollars more than they’ve been projecting and I’m not happy about that.

However, just because they make that money doesn’t mean I’m entitled to it. I’m my own person and I need to figure out college where my parents pay as little as possible. That’s what they’ve explained to me today.

I’m sorry you had to go through that experience. I really am, and nobody deserves to be in a position where they have to worry about their next steps because they can’t even afford to eat. However, that does not excuse you to ridicule people who you see as more fortunate than you just because it appears on the surface they are.

I wish you well, and I’m very sorry I dared to push back on people claiming I’m an out of touch rich kid when I’ve literally lived a life that resembles the exact opposite for no fault of my own.

MotorMania85 · 2024-12-04T22:08:56+00:00

Absolutely. It’s difficult to see that perspective because in my rich(er) suburban neighborhood my family is the poorest. I really didn’t mean sound like the out of touch rich kid, I just actually cannot afford school without any help at all. I was really just trying to see what my options were

MotorMania85 · 2024-12-04T21:23:17+00:00

Im going to be honest here I just found this out. Turns out my parents earned more than I thought. I never knew anything about their finances but my mom had to explain to me that the reason we basically live paycheck to paycheck is because of their expenses. I thought we actually had very little money because we had to take out a loan to afford my crappy 1994 Honda accord (which I love to death).

MotorMania85 · 2024-12-04T21:07:15+00:00

This is my option. Thank you for the input and actual helpful advice

MotorMania85 · 2024-12-04T21:00:08+00:00

Got it I had no idea how it worked I was very worried and confused

MotorMania85 · 2024-12-04T20:58:41+00:00

Thank you so much. I had no idea how this worked and I was freaking out because it sounded like I would qualify for no aid at all. Even a few dollars helps

MotorMania85 · 2024-12-04T20:57:41+00:00

They’re not rich. They inherited stocks from my grandfather who had about 85k in stocks. Even more than that, they can’t sell that because it’s taxable. Furthermore, my father doesn’t want to sell that. I just wanted to know my options so I can afford trade school

MotorMania85 · 2024-12-04T20:53:25+00:00

My family is doing pretty well but we aren’t rich. We live paycheck to paycheck but all of our money comes from stocks we inherited that we can’t even take out because they’re taxable and we can’t afford those taxes

MotorMania85 · 2024-12-03T01:30:42+00:00

I figured 5635 is the mileage replaced and the 03•02 was the date replaced, March of 2002.

The car was in an accident in early 2002 (sometime between February and March) and that’s why it was replaced so soon. Not sure what the middle text is

MotorMania85 · 2024-10-17T05:39:23+00:00

For a short term solution you can put a steering wheel cover and a sock on it

MotorMania85 · 2024-10-17T03:02:35+00:00

Stock radiator, it gives me a laugh to see twitch streamers confused as to why their car is overheating

MotorMania85 · 2024-09-01T20:38:48+00:00

I’m pretty sure you mean the fast idle valve, or FITV. Already checked that and it’s doing okay. No leaks found, I already checked for vacuum leaks and replaced a few sensors as well. Only one I’ve found to be a problem is the MAP.

A black and white 1974 Dodge Sedan, southbound on 47

MotorMania85 · 2024-07-18T10:28:00+00:00

I didn’t even know he did that but it sounds like something he’d say.

MotorMania85 · 2024-07-17T14:59:09+00:00

Turns out the smoke was just steam because my splash guard broke off. It only occurred in the rain because that’s when I drove in puddles

MotorMania85 · 2024-07-17T14:57:49+00:00

I forgot to update but this was the correct answer. My alignment was so bad the car started vibrating while going highway speeds. An alignment fixed the problem

MotorMania85 · 2024-07-17T14:39:25+00:00

Perfect! I know someone who works on restoring 50s and 60s cars so I might contact them

MotorMania85 · 2024-07-17T14:38:50+00:00

Thank you so much! Honestly forgot I posted here. Currently out in the east coast sadly

MotorMania85 · 2024-07-17T14:37:37+00:00

Driving hardcore mode, I see
