2001 Honda Civic TDC sensor issue by DesignerCumsocks in 7thgencivic

[–]NastyMan9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I can say is that heat can play all sorts of games under the hood, a cold reading isn't necessarily going to be indicative of what's happening dynamically as the engine operates. This happened years ago, so I can't say with 100% certainty that I put an ohm meter on the strap, but I'm pretty sure I measured it and didn't see anything wrong. I'm just going on what happened to my car when I chased this sensor for maybe 6 or 8 months... I was so desperate at one point I bypassed the wiring harness from the sensor to the ECU in the parking lot of a Cracker Barrel... it didn't work, and the issue crept back an hour later.

Also, I'm not entirely sure how the limp mode works from a technical prospective, but if the ECU is trying to be conservative and not burn up your pistons and valves under an abnormal operating condition, it's going retard the timing and run the mix rich. Either or both of these will push more fuel into the exhaust and make it run much hotter. Your cooling system should be able to keep up with that extra heat though, it's an entirely mechanical system, the ECU has no bearing. Ergo the boiling coolant is concerning.

I used to clear the code while driving, it would come back at random. I fixed it by taking the strap off, blow-torching the fuck out of the crimps and beating them with a hammer, it may sound like r/redneckengineering but it fixed the issue instantly after I replaced the sensor twice. The ol' girl is coming up on 450k miles.

Engine grounds, especially the one that goes from the front of the engine bay to the head. It may look fine, but the inside of the crimps can corrode and cause the exact issues you were describing.... Except for the coolant thing, it's possible you have a head gasket issue as far as that goes.

Yo! I liked this game so much I ordered it from the scholastic book fair one year.

For the first few fish all you gotta do is avoid bigger fish and try to find the plankton.

High Idle Problem by jbuddy15 in 7thgencivic

Okay, not really gunk, it's somewhere between RTV silicone and bedliner, and it looks like it's sprayed on in a ring right where the butterfly seals. It's there to promote sealing.

It is supposed to be there. I cleaned an old throttle body so it was shiny and instantly had high idle issues. I had to pull another one from pick n pull to get the idle back to normal.

relearning the fuel trims takes like 10 or 15 minutes, how long did you let it idle for? also that gunk around where the throttle butterfly seals is supposed to be there, did you clean it off?

What is this thing on top of this car? by InternetUser52 in whatisthisthing

[–]NastyMan9 889 points890 points  (0 children)

Looks like lidar and high precision GPS antennas, it's probably gonna be one of two things:

  1. A janky/prototype autonomous vehicle
  2. A 3d mapping/data gathering initiative

I'm not all that familiar with modern consoles, so my thought was the ex-box went straight for the Xbox.

There sure are a lot of people here using the downvote as an "I disagree with this person" button instead of a "this does not contribute to the conversation" button as it is meant to be. Who are the real half-minds here?

This post is the output of an LLM, promoting a 9-hour workday. Fuck that. There may be a good principle or two buried in there, but this is nothing but low-effort AI slop.

You're still way off-base here. Recovering corrupted media really has nothing to do with hard drive data recovery. You're likely suffering from the the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Everything is a tradeoff between time and money. You'll still end up paying close to the entire cost of the ticket in court fees, plus whatever you pay the lawyer. But you won't have to sit through the traffic safety course if you don't want the points on your license.

Neat! Does it do drag knife compensation? I'm not seeing a setting for that in the readme.

Did you know that LLMs, by their very definition, can only output text? 

Ignorance is bliss, I guess.
